He also founded Bit Academy, a school for data developers that now has 400 students. Marco teaches at both Delft University of Technology and the University of Amsterdam, is affiliated with Amsterdam Science Park as one of the "Boundless Minds," and gave a TED Talk on innovation. He operates at the intersection of technology, education, and entrepreneurship – with an infectious belief in what the future of AI will bring.

In his talk, Marco will take us through how AI really works, what are the latest developments, and – perhaps most importantly – how will these technologies change our world, our work, and our thinking in the coming years?
