ADM Next | Critical thinking in times of AI

This event is organized by ADM Next, the youth board of ADM. Are you under 37? Then you are very welcome at this event!

Artificial intelligence is everywhere. From tools that speed up our work to systems that help shape decisions. But how critical are we still of this technology?
During this ADM Next event, we will take you on an inspiring exploration of AI and critical thinking. This event is specifically designed for and by Young Professionals and challenges you not only to listen, but also to actively think along.

Stéphane Berghmans, CEO of Technopolis, takes you through the growing need for scientific and technological literacy.
How does Technopolis ensure that it continues to inspire and reach people in an increasingly complex world? And what innovative steps are on Stéphane's agenda?

Afterwards, Yarne Vanhoudt, AI specialist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, guides you through the world of AI. AI makes our lives easier, but does it mean we still think enough for ourselves?
In this session, he explores both the opportunities and the downsides of AI, and the ethical questions that arise. Using examples from the business world and everyday life, he explores what happens when we trust technology too blindly.
The central question: how do we continue to think critically in a world that increasingly fills in the blanks for us? A session that makes you pause, stimulates thought, and makes you look at AI with a fresh perspective.

After these inspiring sessions, it is up to you. During the interactive part of the evening, we will dive into Technopolis together for an active and participatory experience.
Do not expect a traditional approach, but rather a series of exercises and insights in which your own critical thinking skills take center stage.
You are challenged to reflect, make connections, and view the impact of technology in a new way.
We will conclude the evening with a networking session with snacks and drinks.
