How can organizations truly unlock the potential of AI beyond flashy applications of Large Language Models (LLMs)? In this keynote at the Intelligent Systems Conference 2026, Prof. dr. ir. Wil van der Aalst—widely known as the Godfather of Process Mining—delivers a thought-provoking exploration of how object-centric process mining provides the missing link between AI innovations and real operational improvements.
🔹 Key Themes Covered in the Talk:
★Why organizations still face inefficiencies despite advancements in Generative AI and LLMs
★The critical role of process awareness in enabling AI-driven transformation
★How process mining reveals the reality of end-to-end workflows—beyond superficial fixes
★The power of object-centric process mining to capture complex, multi-object interactions (orders, items, packages, patients, etc.)
★Real-world applications in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and aviation
★How process mining enables AI systems to go from isolated tools to actionable, data-driven process improvement engines
💡 Prof. van der Aalst argues that without true visibility into organizational processes, AI risks delivering surface-level answers without measurable impact. By integrating process mining with AI and machine learning, businesses can finally bridge the gap between expectation and reality.
