Wat een inspirerende bijeenkomst! Tijdens de Raad van Advies liet Job van den Berg zien hoe snel AI zich ontwikkelt en welke kansen dit biedt. Hij deelde zijn ervaringen uit China en Silicon Valley en liet zien hoe AI daar anders wordt toegepast dan bij ons. Met concrete voorbeelden besprak hij vragen die ook ons bezighouden: hoe verandert de werkpraktijk, wat betekent dit voor banen, en welke uitdagingen kunnen we tegenkomen? Dankzij Job kregen we op een toegankelijke manier inzicht in nieuwe mogelijkheden en hoe we hier in onze eigen praktijk mee aan de slag kunnen. Een waardevolle en verhelderende bijdrage die ons echt aan het denken heeft gezet.

We vonden het evenement ontzettend geslaagd en Job heeft zijn rol perfect heeft uitgevoerd. We hebben veel positieve reacties gehad op zijn keynote speech. Iemand zei: “wat kan die man snel praten, maar je raakt nooit de draad kwijt in zijn verhaal!”. Ze vonden het ontzettend boeiend!
