AI Roundtable, MAS Antwerp · Talk

AI Doesn't Matter

Provocative talk at the AI Roundtable (VaultSpeed & DataSense, MAS Antwerp, 30 Nov 2023), within the theme "How to create a strong data foundation for AI": AI as an infrastructure technology gives no sustainable edge. That comes from AI capabilities: technology, data, and above all human AI capabilities, the most durable competitive advantage.

Nadat Proximus aankondigt 1.200 banen te schrappen: drijft artificiële intelligentie ons in de werkloosheid?

Interview on AI and job losses, prompted by the announced layoffs at Proximus (Hannah Wellens; Het Belang van Limburg, 27 February 2026, and Nieuwsblad, 28 February 2026). Benoît Depaire pushes back on the doom scenario of fast-rising unemployment from AI: the technology evolves quickly, but companies adapt much more slowly in practice, though almost every knowledge job changes fundamentally as a result.
