3 Evidence-Based Tips Against Cognitive Offloading in the Age of AI The risk with AI is simple: use your brain, or lose it. Seduced by fast outcomes, we may forget the value of due process and effortful thinking. AI can feel like sugar to the brain: fluent, reassuring, instantly rewarding. Used uncritically, it drains…

A recent power outage in San Francisco resulted in Waymo’s autonomous robotaxis stalling at intersections. While the episode was widely interpreted as a technological failure, I see it as a systemic innovation issue. The vehicles behaved according to their design constraints; what failed was the broader innovation system in which they were embedded. This…

With strongmen with boundless ambition dominating the politics and business headlines, and maximum aggression becoming the new norm, Lando Norris’s first F1 title is a powerful reminder that: 👉 You don’t have to become someone else to win.👉 You can perform at the highest level by staying true to your values. Mid-way through the season, Norris…

Following the #AdoptAI Summit in Paris, this post distills practices that have proven their worth for several European multinationals. A playbook of sorts. 1. Demystify AI Through ExperimentationLet teams play with AI, safely, like FDJ UNITED, European leader in gaming with 33 million clients. Gamification, sandboxed tools, and clear data guardrails turn curiosity into…

At #AdoptAI, President Macron laid out a bold strategy for Europe: focus on adoption, not just innovation. Acknowledging that the US and China dominate model development and infrastructure deployment, Europe’s path would be to lead in integrating AI into businesses, governments, and daily life. This entails talent development (from 40K today to 100K AI…

Last week at DTU – Technical University of Denmark’s inaugural #ELPIS Leading Industrial Science program, Eva Berneke shared a hard truth: winning in industries like space isn’t just about breakthrough products. It’s also about revolutionizing how you build them. SpaceX didn’t just innovate rockets; they industrialized failure. Their “try, crash and collect data, iterate”…

In the automation vs augmentation by AI, this piece of research shared yesterday by Arnaud Hubaux at ASML during the Brainport AI Summit, showing that for complex knowledge such as those involved in semiconductor chips, the highest efficiency and lowest costs are achieved through a combination of seasoned engineers with AI, not one or…

Trusting AI is a broad question, spanning ethics, safety, accuracy and more. Today at the AI Brainport Summit, Djoni de Vos noted that for many clients, accuracy is still the first concern. Anything less than 99% won’t do. May I add, especially in fields like engineering or design, where answers must be precise. But…

I had the privilege to interview, on behalf of the DTU Executive MBA, Dan Lamorena head of Gemini Google Cloud Product Marketing, Razab Chowdhury, Sr Partner at Gartner, Apurva Davé CMO of Aembit, Ngoc Mai Nguyen, CEO of Optoceutics, and Jim Healey, who held multiple C-level positions in Silicon Valley! Some insights they shared:…

I had the privilege to meet Stephen Hooper and hear why Gen-AI may shift the markets in which Autodesk operates, building on insights from past shifts: the cloud did not change the industry dynamics, while both 3D parametric methods and the advent of the PC did. It all had to do with the productivity…
