There is an intense pressure from management to adopt AI everywhere, but not every promise translates into real results. Too often, teams adopt AI tools only to end up with more noise than value. This session cuts through the hype to focus on where AI genuinely moves the needle for QA. We’ll explore practical applications that save time, improve coverage, and strengthen decision-making while avoiding the traps of vague strategies and inflated expectations.
