About me

Michael Muehlberger is the Founder and CEO of SPACE44, where he helps companies move from AI pilots to governed, scalable AI operations. His background includes over 12 years at BMW, where he led the global Formula BMW program across technical development, business case, and international growth strategy. He later founded digital product companies before launching SPACE44 to address one of the central challenges in enterprise AI: making AI reliable, secure, and usable beyond isolated pilots. At SPACE44, he and his team deliver the operating layer companies need to scale AI safely: governance, access, context, workflows, and continuous improvement. Michael holds a degree from the Technical University of Munich.

AI Pilots Work. So Why Don't They Scale?

AI pilots work. Scaling them doesn't. Once AI enters real workflows, companies face a different challenge: governing access, securing knowledge, controlling costs, and making AI usable across the organization. This talk explores what breaks when AI moves from isolated pilots into enterprise operations, and what companies need to build between "the pilot works" and "this runs in production": the operating layer around AI. Drawing from hands-on implementation experience, we'll look at governance, context management, security, cost control, and why the biggest bottleneck to scaling AI isn't the model. It's the organization.
