But we did it. Not because we had fancy degrees, but because we were curious, hands-on, and moved fast. And yes, sometimes we failed. So what? You pick yourself up and continue the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">That mindset still lives on in our alumni \u2014 hundreds of them now working in tech, building real products and solving real problems. And Taavet\u2019s vision for the future? &#8211; One million coders.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-135_resized-1160x773.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-135_resized-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-135_resized-195x130.jpg 195w, https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-135_resized-60x40.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">The future of tech is iteration and collaborating with AI. And it was demonstrated by the LHV AI team, who also joined us on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">Here&#8217;s what we learned from LHV\u2019s real-world experience with AI:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-el\">\n<li>About 900 employees use ChatGPT daily &#8211; from developers to lawyers to fraud analysts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They\u2019re building AI tools that help ease the work: generate forms, summarize contracts, draft emails etc.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They\u2019re testing, failing, tweaking. And most importantly, asking: \u201cDoes this actually help the customer?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-182_resized-1160x773.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-182_resized-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-182_resized-195x130.jpg 195w, https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/kood_night-182_resized-60x40.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\"><strong>Their message was clear:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-el\">\n<li>Don\u2019t use AI for the sake of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use it where it creates real value.And even then, understand the fundamentals \u2014 because if you don\u2019t know how it works, you won\u2019t know when it breaks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">Thank you to LHV for hosting!
