AI in iGaming: Industry Leaders Set for Unfiltered Live Debate

A new kind of industry event is set to challenge the status quo in iGaming. AI in iGaming – From Hype to Hybrid Intelligence will bring together 12+ leading experts for a raw, unscripted and fully live debate tackling the realities of artificial intelligence in the sector.

Moderated by Christian Hodges and Mark McGuiness, the session has been described as “Question Time for iGaming” — but without the rehearsed answers. This is not a webinar, podcast or polished panel discussion. Instead, it’s a 150-minute, no-holds-barred exchange between professionals actively working at the forefront of AI, compliance, product and operations.

Rather than focusing on optimistic projections and surface-level insights, the discussion will begin where most events stop: with failure.

The Industry’s Toughest Questions — Front and Centre

Attendees can expect an honest exploration of the challenges shaping AI adoption in iGaming, including:

1. The Graveyard of Internal Tools – Why the majority of AI projects fail within six months
2. The “Black Box” Problem – Managing AML and KYC when AI decisions lack transparency
3. Dev vs. Human Creativity – Where human input remains irreplaceable in game development
4. The Addiction Dilemma – Whether AI is being used to protect players or maximise profit
5. Immersion vs. Cost Efficiency – Balancing innovation with commercial pressures

This format is designed to move beyond theory and address the operational, ethical and commercial realities that businesses face today.

1. Gustaf Hagman
