Why do we organise this knowledge booster session ?

Knowledge booster sessions are short, live, interactive, online meetings about a specific topic. These can be eye-openers, brief explanations of new trends and technologies, or discussions about new developments that will impact your business. If you have a need or an idea about a knowledge booster, do not hesitate to contact us.

​​In this unique online interactive event, we will explore the exciting world of generative artificial intelligence, including a deep dive into different AI models, practical applications in various industries, and the ethical and legal considerations surrounding this cutting-edge technology.

​We'll also discuss the potential future of generative AI and how it may shape the world we live in.

​Get ready to discover the limitless possibilities of this groundbreaking technology and how it is already changing the way we work and live.

​This is what you'll learn:

  • ​What generative artificial intelligence is and how it works (high-level)
  • ​The different types of generative AI models and their practical applications
  • ​The ethical and legal considerations surrounding generative AI
  • ​The potential future of generative AI and its impact on various industries and society as a whole
  • ​How generative AI is already being used in the world today
  • ​Most importantly: loads of demos

This session is presented by Sam Hendrickx and Michiel Vandendriessche, co-founders of Raccoons Group, thé Belgian experts in innovative technologies to craft future-proof experiences and products. As expected, they used ChatGPT to come up with the great title and abstract you just read above in seconds, showing the power of #GenerativeAI as a Human Amplification Tool.

This is also how we see this (r)evolution: tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, ... will not replace copywriters, graphic artists, computer programmers, teachers, or marketeers, but it will help them to do their job faster and better. Tools will support, augment and amplify human work.

​During this interactive presentation, Sam and Michiel would like to address and answer as many of your questions as possible in just 90 minutes, so please send us your knowledge requirements:

  • What would you like to learn at this online event?
  • What practical questions do you have about these tools and the technology behind them?
  • What business use cases do you envision?
  • What pitfalls and challenges do you see?
  • ...
