What inspired you to become an expert in AI?
In 2016, we realized a lack of focus on AI in Europe, which inspired us to take action. This led to the creation of Silo AI, now Europe’s largest AI lab. We wanted to bridge the gap and make AI a central topic in Europe, helping businesses unlock its transformative potential.
What will you be speaking about at the conference, and why is it especially important right now?
I will discuss the AI landscape, the role of AI developers, and how companies should strategically approach AI investments. This is crucial today as AI technologies rapidly evolve, creating both unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
Align your efforts with genuine needs, and always consider the ethical and societal implications of your solutions
What key takeaway do you hope attendees will gain from your session?
I want attendees to understand the importance of focusing on solving real problems before rushing into solutions. Additionally, I aim to emphasize a practical approach to AI investments, ensuring they deliver tangible value and align with strategic goals.
What trends or developments in AI excite you and concern you the most?
I’m excited by the potential of AI in robotics to revolutionize industries by addressing practical challenges. However, I’m also concerned about companies misallocating resources by investing in AI without a clear understanding of its purpose, ethical considerations, and long-term value.
What advice would you give to someone looking to develop AI solutions?
Start with a deep understanding of the problem you aim to solve. Focus on practical applications that deliver measurable impact, rather than pursuing AI for the sake of innovation. Align your efforts with genuine needs, and always consider the ethical and societal implications of your solutions.
