## From Hype to Impact: Turning AI into Real Business Value

Artificial intelligence has evolved from a promising frontier into a core driver of business strategy and innovation. Yet, many organizations struggle to turn AI experiments into measurable business results. The **BIS 2026 theme — “From Hype to Impact: Turning AI into Real Business Value” —** reflects this essential transformation.

Businesses today are not short of AI opportunities; they are challenged by how to translate them into growth, efficiency, and competitiveness. The focus is shifting from fascination with AI’s potential to execution and impact. True success comes from embedding AI in processes, decision-making, and products — aligning technology with strategy, redesigning operations, and fostering a data-driven culture.

As AI technologies — from generative models and predictive analytics to autonomous systems — continue to mature, organizations must navigate issues of data quality, ethics, and readiness. The journey from hype to impact requires balancing innovation with practical implementation and sustainability, especially as AI costs often exceed immediate returns.

**BIS 2026** invites researchers, practitioners, and innovators to explore how AI can deliver real business value — not merely as a disruptive tool, but as a foundation for meaningful transformation in the digital economy.
