On September 24, we bring together researchers, businesses, governments, civil society organizations, and students. We explore themes such as social trust, cyber resilience, digital sovereignty, and cultural heritage in the age of AI.
In 2026, it will be exactly 70 years since the term artificial intelligence was introduced during the Dartmouth Summer Research Project. Seven decades later, AI and interactive technology are ubiquitous, and their impact on our society is becoming increasingly visible. At the event, we will address the question of how we can use AI and digital technology to build a resilient democratic society.
An inspiring and forward-looking day
The programme consists of keynotes, interviews, workshops, breakout sessions, and interactive experiences. Together, we will not only explore the challenges of AI, but above all the concrete steps we can take towards a resilient society.
With experts from our ecosystem, plus external speakers such as Jelle Postma (ex-AIVD, now Justice for Prosperity), Eric Smit (Follow the Money, Firewall), Bas van Abel (Fairphone) and Laurens van der Maaten (Anthropic). More information about the programme and the speakers will follow shortly. Keep an eye on our LinkedIn page for updates.
