AI That Explains Itself
In today's world, AI for Observability and Operations is not just about speed but about trust. This is the message Isabell Sippli, IBM Distinguished Engineer, is bringing to her attendees at the IBM TechXchange 2025 Conference. She is quick to remind us that the real power of AI does not lie in being able to produce answers quickly but in being able to make those outputs reliable and definitive.
“Operations is about trust,” Isabell states. “If we can’t explain why AI makes a recommendation, we’re not fulfilling our duty to the humans who rely on it.”
In her sessions, she will dive into how IBM is focused on AI that is able to provide both summarization and recommendations but also able to scale systems as well as predict and prevent any possible technical incidents.
Inside the Sessions: Turbonomic, Instana, and Beyond
What makes Isabell's sessions particularly important is the depth with which she is approaching them. She won’t just be describing features but showing the insights into the decision logic behind IBM’s Turbonomic and Instana. Attendees will be able to see:
-
Turbonomic optimizes at scale, balancing both performance and cost with GPU usage.
-
Instana is driving observability, determining possible causes of IT incidents and guiding teams through actionable fixes.
-
How IBM’s observability portfolio uses Agentic AI to reshape enterprise operations, with real-world examples and demonstrations.
The IBM TechXchange Conference is all about the future; Isabell will have exclusive knowledge about brand-new product capabilities that you won’t get outside these sessions!

Why It Matters for Enterprises
Isabell’s sessions will showcase how IBM’s approach to AI keeps enterprises ahead by focusing on three things:
-
Explainability - AI users can rely on it because they understand how it works.
-
Domain expertise - Deep knowledge of observability and enterprise IT.
-
Automation - Free up humans from toil by providing automated insights and actionable recommendations
Her message is clear: IBM isn’t building AI for hype but to solve real-world problems in real environments.
A Conference Experience You Cannot Miss
From the general session regarding Agentic AI to her deep dives on Turbonomic and Instana, Isabell is offering incoming attendees a rare chance to look at the future of enterprise AI. Expect transparency, real-world grounding, and yes, a little fun (German chocolate may make an appearance for the boldest questions).
In her own words, the IBM TechXchange conference is “engaging, insightful, a little wild, and packed with deep technical insights.” If you want to see how AI for Observability and Operations can be trusted, explainable, and enterprise-ready, Isabell’s sessions are the ones to circle on your agenda.
