Grappige TV-reclame, of Artificial Intelligence? Gelukkig heb ik meer verstand van verzekeren! Kent u deze slogan nog? De non-millenials onder ons vast nog wel. De tussenpersoon van de RVS (dat was een verzekeraar, beste millenial. En een tussenpersoon was: …laat maar…). Leuke TV-commercials waren het. Maar ja, waar zien we

One thing is clear: The ethics debates will continue this year, and they will be more about the realistic possibilities and risks of AI. Companies
As machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities develop in leaps and bounds, we are seeing the fulfilment of concepts and ideas that only a few years ago seemed like pure science fiction. Every day seems to bring a new story of how AI will help humans do what we
