In the lead-up to the Digital Sciences for Society Annual Event 2025 at Tilburg University, host Pieter Spronck speaks with Roos Slegers and Bart Wernaart  — the keynote speakers of this year’s event — about how artificial intelligence is transforming students’ lives, their studies, and the world around them.

In this episode, Roos and Bart respond to questions submitted by students, ranging from the exciting opportunities AI creates to the ethical dilemmas it raises. There wasn’t enough time to answer every question, but the conversation offers an inspiring preview of the discussions that will continue during the event, where the central theme will be “Ethics in the Digital Age.”

In the keynote at the event Roos Slegers explores how stories, films, and digital cultures shape our sense of self in an AI-driven world, while Bart Wernaart highlights how we can design technology that is both ethical and meaningful. Together, they offer fresh perspectives on how AI influences the way we think, act, and create.
