The first wave gave you tools. The second changes your work.
On Thursday 19 November we spend an afternoon on exactly that, at AI AM in Amsterdam East. Two keynotes, five panellists, a live demo and drinks. Free, and the room holds 150 people.
The first AI wave was about tooling. Everyone got a chat window, and suddenly everyone could make something. That was fun, and mostly it produced a pile of separate experiments.
The second wave is about something else. Not what you can do with AI, but what happens to your work once AI becomes a structural part of it. Who does what then? Who decides? And what do you deliberately keep hold of?
Who is on
Prof. dr. Christine Moser (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) researches how AI changes collaboration and decision-making. Her question for the afternoon: what will we still leave to people?
Radboud Langenhorst takes the other side: how do you reorganise work when AI can carry more and more of it? What does that mean for teams, roles and leadership?
After that, five people talk it through, each from their own corner: Auke van Rossum (Trojan Monkeys) on what creativity is worth when everyone can create, Daniel Luthra (Artific) on how much freedom you dare give AI, Jeroen de Bakker (Ninety One Media) on who gets to shape the story, and Jon Hilbrants (Result aiX) on bringing people and talent along. Christine joins them.
And there is a demo, because talking about transformative AI is one thing. Watching it work is another.
The honest part
We are not bringing the answers. The questions above are the ones we run into with clients every week. The afternoon is there to sharpen them together, with people who look at this differently than we do.
Drinks at 18.00. That is usually where it gets interesting.
