Actress Táňa Pauhofová revealed at the BIKOSS26 business conference in Bratislava that she has yet to find a practical use for artificial intelligence in her personal life, preferring traditional approaches.
The event organized by Slovenská sporiteľňa gathered cultural figures, entrepreneurs, and technology experts to debate adaptation in a shifting economy. While corporate leaders at the conference emphasized AI’s capacity to streamline administrative tasks and expand market access, Pauhofová maintained a stance as an observer.
Strategic Takeaways from the Bratislava Conference
Corporate Integration: Slovenská sporiteľňa board member Marek Sásik positioned AI as a tool for cost reduction, revenue optimization, and administrative simplification for businesses of all sizes.
Divergent Perspectives: While personalities like moderator Adela Vinczeová rely on AI for daily queries, figures such as Pauhofová and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales underscored the need to protect human creativity and verify source information.
Cross-Industry Dialogue: The BIKOSS26 event featured over 20 speakers addressing how firms can leverage emerging tools without abandoning critical judgment.
The Practical Application Divide Among Public Figures
The conference highlighted a contrast in how creative professionals integrate digital tools into daily workflows. While Pauhofová stated that shortcuts often fail to yield results for her type of personality, fellow actress Aňa Geislerová argued that consultations with AI models offer speed and accessibility. Geislerová urged attendees to treat the technology strictly as a manageable instrument designed to serve human interests.
Adela Vinczeová shared that she frequently consults AI for routine domestic inquiries, such as locating restaurants or checking health information regarding children, rather than relying solely on traditional search engines. However, Matej „Sajfa“ Cifra cautioned against blind trust, drawing a parallel to the introduction of pocket calculators.”
„Zatiaľ určite nie. Ale aj keď prišli kalkulačky, ľudia ich prepočítavali, či sa kalkulačka nepomýlila. Príde moment, kedy možno toto nebudeme musieť riešiť a budeme plnohodnotne dôverovať AI, lebo informácie, ktoré bude poskytovať, budú nejakým spôsobom overené. Je to hudba budúcnosti, ale už teraz sa s tým treba naučiť robiť.“”

Enterprise Strategy and the Value of Critical Verification
Beyond individual workflow preferences, the conference addressed systemic deployment strategies for commercial entities. Marek Sásik detailed how digital automation allows organizations to scale operations, driving efficiency across both cost and revenue centers.
The presence of Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales shifted the discussion toward informational integrity. In an environment where content can be generated instantaneously, the discussion emphasized the importance of distinguishing verified data from unvetted material. Michal Pastier, co-founder of GoBigname and Darwin & the Machines, advised business owners to bypass rigid implementation templates and instead apply new tools directly to personal operational passions, noting his own use of systems for physical patent development.

The event concluded with consensus among participants that while digital infrastructure will continue reshaping commercial and creative landscapes, human judgment and interpersonal connection remain important components.
