In this keynote, Michiel cuts through the AI landscape of 2025 and separates real opportunities from inflated expectations. He explains why large language models represent a fundamental shift from traditional AI approaches and how they redefine the way intelligent systems are built and applied.

He then introduces agentic AI, showing how AI agents can be given goals, equipped with tools, and act autonomously. Through concise live demos and concrete business cases, Michiel demonstrates how organizations can move beyond experimentation and why, ultimately, the person who knows how to use AI is the true competitive advantage.
