How do you get the most out of AI? What impact will AI have on the job market - and on your job? Should we be afraid of AI? Aaron Mirck answers those questions in an engaging, interactive keynote. He is a sought-after speaker and author of "AI, Beyond the Hype. Aaron is eager to hear how he can tailor the lecture for your company or industry.

Many professionals and organizations want "something" with AI. But what exactly? What are the opportunities of this new technology? Can you afford to wait to implement AI? Will you be out of business tomorrow if you don't start working with AI today?

40 percent of the Dutch are afraid of AI. One reason for this is the fear of job loss. How is AI actually changing the job market? Will your job soon be taken over by an algorithm? How will artificial intelligence change your job or sector?

Education is also affected by AI; more and more students are having their homework done by AI. Is that a problem? And how can education best deal with artificial intelligence?

AI is not all good news. There are also issues that are less pretty. What about AI and sustainability? Each assignment to ChatGPT creates as many emissions as the production of a plastic bag. OpenAI (ChatGPT's parent company) will need as much power as the Netherlands in a few years. How green is the use of AI?

Using AI tools is free, but not free. In fact, we pay with our data. Why will civil servants soon not be allowed to use ChatGPT? And why are writers, newspapers and artists suing big AI companies?

All these questions will be answered in an interactive, witty and engaging lecture by AI expert Aaron Mirck. He is a sought-after speaker on AI, wrote three books on technology and gave a TEDxTalk on digital etiquette in 2023. Aaron believes in the importance of customization. Therefore, he is curious about your company and industry so that the talk can be customized for your audience.
