Keynote Speakers
At AI020, we’re bringing in leading experts who are shaping the future of AI:

1. Onno Zoeter (Booking.com): Real-world impact with AI and the acceleration research can bring. With over 25 years of experience in the AI field, Onno Zoeter, Principal Data Scientist at Booking.com, will delve into how AI has moved from academic research to business disruption. He will share key insights on the importance of A/B testing at Booking.com, and what can be learned from the frequent feedback loops that help shape AI applications.

2. John Ashley Burgoyne (Assistant Professor in Computational Musicology): Music Meets Machine Learning
Ashley Burgoyne will explore the intersection of AI and music. From music composition to audio analysis, this session will demonstrate how AI is influencing the world of music and entertainment.

3. Bart Veldhuis (Rapid Circle): GenAI: "Just a Power-Hungry Autocomplete or a Revolutionary Innovation?"
Bart will break down the true potential of Generative AI (GenAI). While many view it as just a productivity tool, Bart will discuss the ways in which GenAI can be embedded into core business processes and truly drive innovation. What can businesses learn from the cloud hype cycle to accelerate the safe and effective use of GenAI?

4. Aplonia Stelloo (Snowflake):
"Bring the LLMs to your data, and unlock insights in place."
Snowflake will demonstrate how easy it is to put the power of an LLM directly on top of your data with Cortex AI. Enabling anyone in the business to leverage these powerful LLMs to extract insights, generate reports and enable self-serve analytics simply by asking questions in natural language. No pipelines, no complexity, just answers.

5. Felienne Hermans (Vrije Universiteit):
"Facts still matter. Thinking still matters. Struggle still matters."
Professor, author and coding educator Felienne Hermans challenges the current narrative around AI in education. Her take? Let’s not skip the messiness — the trial-and-error, the fact-checking, the creative chaos that actually leads to learning. Her talk is a must for educators, policymakers, and anyone wondering what “AI literacy” really looks like in practice.
