Hello AI & Data Science enthusiasts! đź‘‹
We’re excited to invite you to the 28th edition of the DS Rotterdam Meetup !
Where: Rotterdam Science Tower - Ground Floor
17:00 – 17:45 Doors OpenLeon Cullens (Databricks) Dimitrios Gontzes (Cognizant) & Alex de Ronde (Isatis Business Solutions)
Talk 1: Leon Cullens (Databricks) -Democratizing Port Data with AI Governance
In this session we live-build a Genie Space using fictitious Dutch port data and take a deep dive into AI governance: which models are used, where they run, what happens to your data, and how Unity Catalog enforces row-level security — even through natural language queries.
Leon Cullens is a solutions architect at Databricks, where he helps EU institutions implement AI use cases on their platform. He was born and raised in Rotterdam and has a background in data engineering. This is his first time speaking at the Rotterdam Data Science meetup, rather than joining as an attendee.
Talk 2: Dimitrios Gontzes (Cognizant) & Alex de Ronde (Isatis Business Solutions) - Future of AI Work & Govern AI the right way
In this double act, Dimitrios and Alex will take you through real AI Governance implementation stories covering Responsible AI practices, Risk Management frameworks and enterprise-wide strategies. This interactive session will also cover topics like the Future of Works with AI and what companies are currently doing to achieve this as well as sharing war stories from the AI front.
Dimitrios Gontzes: As a Principal Data Scientist for Cognizant, my mission is to ensure the development and deployment of safe and responsible AI. While I have extensive experience in AI development, I am increasingly concerned by the lack of safety mechanisms and controls in place. I want to use my skills to help build a thriving and, at the same time, safer AI future.
We look forward to seeing you there!
