Las vegas: Bir, the Caucasus region's first fully integrated banking, payments, and eCommerce ecosystem, has presented its approach to developing enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to an international audience at Ai4 2026, one of the world's leading AI conferences.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the event was held in Las Vegas and brought together over 12,000 participants from more than 90 countries, featuring over 1,000 speakers and 400 exhibitors. Since its inception in 2018, the conference has served as a global platform for business and technology leaders to explore the real-world application of AI, generative AI, AI agents, and other emerging technologies. The organizers describe it as North America's largest AI industry event.
Bir was represented at the conference by Valeh Nabiyev, Chief Data and AI Officer of the Bir ecosystem, and Seymur Shabanli, Head of the AI Office. Valeh Nabiyev spoke at Ai4 2026, presenting Bir's approach to enterprise AI to an international audience.
In his session, 'Building the Enterprise AI Operating System: Turning AI into an Organizational Capability,' Nabiyev emphasized that the key challenge for organizations is no longer just developing individual AI solutions, but building the organizational capabilities required to deploy AI quickly, securely, and at scale.
He pointed out that delivering tangible business value from AI requires more than developing standalone solutions. Organizations need to establish an integrated approach that brings together data, technology, people, and business processes, while creating a unified system that allows AI solutions to be deployed rapidly and at scale across the organization.
During the conference, representatives of the Bir ecosystem also exchanged insights and experiences with AI and data leaders from around the world. The Ai4 2026 program covered real-world applications of AI in business and topics such as AI agents, generative AI, governance, and responsible AI.
Bir's participation in Ai4 2026 provided an opportunity to closely follow global AI trends and real-world applications, while also sharing the ecosystem's approach to enterprise AI transformation with the international professional community.
