AI & Simulation: What Executives Need to Know
Is AI truly the magic bullet for strategic decision-making?
Watch Andrei Borshchev, CEO of AnyLogic, and Luigi Manca, Director of the Simulation & Decision Science Practice at Engineering Industries eXcellence, as they uncover the real value of integrating artificial intelligence with simulation modeling.

In today's complex environments, decision-makers need more than black-box predictions - they need clarity, context and insight. This session demonstrates how simulation helps organizations better understand the systems they operate in, test "what-if" scenarios and make confident, data-informed decisions. You'll learn how smart companies are integrating simulation and AI to gain competitive advantage - and why this blend is critical for driving performance, transparency and trust in strategic decisions.
