AI Meets the new ITIL: Evidence, Insights and Real-World Impact
Speaker: Markus Bause, VP of Product, PeopleCert

AI is already reshaping service management through automated triage, AI-generated knowledge, anomaly detection, virtual agents, intelligent workflows, and emerging agentic capabilities. Drawing on PeopleCert's research, the 2025 AI in ITSM Tools report, the Accredited Tool Vendor programme and practitioner insights, Markus will examine what differentiates successful adopters, where organizations struggle and how ITIL guidance is evolving to support sustainable, value-driven AI-enabled ITSM.

Discover a practical, data-driven view of what AI is changing in ITSM, what remains essential, and how to avoid common adoption pitfalls.
