Why is AI suddenly everywhere? It’s because technology has finally made it accessible for organizations of all sizes to leverage. In this episode, we delve into machine learning models and concepts that, while in the spotlight today, are actually built on decades-old methods. Data’s role is vital to AI, but it’s just one part of the story. Ultimately, the success or failure of AI will come down to us—the people interacting with it. The true transformation will happen when we’re able to seamlessly collaborate with AI in our daily work, reshaping how we approach tasks and make decisions. We’ll also touch on the EU's AI Act, which isn’t just another regulation but a crucial safeguard. This act forms an essential layer to ensure AI is used responsibly, providing a clear framework for ethics and safety. Joining our podcast host Susanne Smycke in the studio are two AI pioneers: Marc van Meel from KPMG Netherlands and Jan Nyström from KPMG Finland. Tune in as they explore these key topics and discuss what they mean for the future of AI in our lives!
