Maarten Sukel
As a PhD researcher at the University of Amsterdam, I focus on multimodal machine learning, merging images, text, and data for meaningful tasks. I am also the author of "De AI Revolutie," exploring the societal impacts of artificial intelligence.
I recently launched The AI Factory, a venture dedicated to creating a lasting and positive impact with AI. Through AI product development and strategic consultancy, The AI Factory aims to help organizations apply, scale, and control AI effectively and responsibly.
I partner with clients across various industries to deliver rapid results with AI systems.
Interested in learning more about The AI Factory? Or making a lasting impact with AI? Feel free to reach out; I'd love to chat about the possibilities!
Sessions
Join me as I take you on a journey through the creation of Jounai, an AI-driven news platform that started as a fun side project but is now (fully) functional. The idea was simple: work with different tech than usual, combine it with what works, and perhaps: use generative AI to innovate news consumption in a responsible way. We ended with a free to use website with multiple automated AI generated podcasts every day, with references to sources and always up to date news articles and more.
In this talk, I will take you along in the exciting process of experimenting with new technologies and the lessons learned along the way. From comparing 'old-school' machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to what I call ‘API ML’, to changing to Azure while being used to working with AWS, and switching from Python to Java for web services because why not try—I'll share it all. Hint: Wil likely build them in Python again in the future. Why? Will discuss during the talk! We'll also look at how Vue.js measures up against its brother Nuxt.js for front-end development. This talk isn't just about creating an AI generated news website—it's about continuous learning, staying curious, and keeping your mind sharp by embracing new challenges.
