De presentatie van Job over AI was helder en informatief. Hij wist complexe onderwerpen op een toegankelijke manier uit te leggen en gaf praktische voorbeelden die relevant zijn voor de gemeentelijke praktijk. Kortom, een interessante en relevante bijeenkomst.
Voor ons 10-jarig jubileum organiseerde Job van AI.nl een geweldige inspiratiedag. Hij nam ons mee in de toekomst van AI en wist zowel onze heavy users als de minder ingelezen collega’s perfect te verbinden. Door de sterke afwisseling tussen kennis delen en het concreet uitwerken van nieuwe 'startup afdelingen', vloog de dag voorbij. Iedereen was super enthousiast en wilde de volgende dag meteen door met de opgestelde experimenten!
Job delivered an inspiring and highly appreciated keynote on AI at our event. The session received excellent feedback from attendees, who highlighted both the relevance of the content and Job’s engaging presentation style. We are very happy that Job joined us and contributed to making the event such a success!
