SUMMARY:Roundtable: AI for startups (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Our Roundtable concept is about meeting up with a small group of members who are willing to share their experience and knowledge about a certain topic. We create themes around popular challenges and shared difficulties. When all participants balance giving and taking of information\, we believe that a Roundtable discussion can be a very valuable experience for every participant. \nIn this Roundtable session\, we will focus on AI. We have invited an expert to share his knowledge on this topic: Max Roeters\, managing partner of Brush AI\, will introduce the magical world of Artificial Intelligence and how to apply it responsibly. He will answer questions such as: \n– What is AI and how can it work for you and your business?– How can I identify where to use AI to make my business more efficient?– What are the most common risks of AI within businesses and how do I mitigate those effectively? \nAbout the expertMax Roeters started his own company Brush AI in 2021 together with his cofounder Noëlle Cicilia. Unlike most tech-startups\, Brush AI did not originate from a technology but a mutual mission: “To create a more fair and safe data-driven future for everyone”. Max has a background in applied physics and data science\, and is within Brush AI responsible for the commercial activities. \nAbout Brush AIBrush AI\, founded in 2021\, has the mission to create a fair and safe data-driven future for everyone. They do that by helping organizations create feasible and trustworthy (Gen.) AI-solutions through consulting and development. Brush AI was acquired by The Cronos Groep in 2022. \nRegistration for this session closes on May 26. You can submit your questions/topics of interest upfront when signing up. We’re looking forward to an interesting discussion!
