Meet you in the metaverse
Pieter Van Leugenhagen
Blockchain, NFTs, VR and web 3.0. Technology is all over the place, and while it may sound sci-fi, what’s happening is that the pieces of the technology puzzle are falling into place, a place called The Metaverse. A 3D world, beyond virtual reality, beyond reality, beyond the universe as we know it.
In this keynote, Van Leugenhagen lays out all the pieces of the Metaverse puzzle and draws us a picture of what’s to come. A story still unfinished, with either a happy ending or one that makes you shiver.

AI Bias? Uhmm... Do you mean human bias?!
Véronique Van Vlasselaer
Artificial Intelligence is said to be one of the most important drivers in the future of our society, automatically analyzing massive amounts of data, distilling new knowledge, and making automated intelligent decisions, beneficial to all. Without realizing, AI systems facilitate, influence and augment many aspects of our life. But are these AI systems truly intelligent and beneficial to all? More and more incidents of discrimination by AI surface , putting AI in a bad light.
In this talk, Véronique Van Vlasselaer questions the criticisms on AI neutrality and claims that before pointing the finger to AI, we should first look at ourselves and our society: the explicit bias in AI models and systems is merely a translation of the often unspoken bias in our society. Only through a good collaboration between humans and AI we will be able to make our world a little better. And a world of equality and without prejudice – on every level – is what we are striving for.
