Datatopics is a podcast presented by Kevin Missoorten to talk about the fuzzy and misunderstood concepts in the world of data, analytics, and AI and get to the bottom of things.

In this episode, we'll be discussing a fascinating and rapidly growing technology called digital twins, which is changing the way we design, manufacture, and operate everything from tomato plants to complex machinery and even the world.

Joining us as expert guests on this topic are Paulan Korenhof, Bart Meyers and Tim Leers. Together we explore the basics of digital twins: what are they and as of when do we speak of a digital twin and not just a digital model or digital shadow, when are they useful and when are they not or how mature is this field today?

We also don't shy away from more philosophical topics like the assemblage of the digital twin - where does it start and where does it end -, where is this field going, or the importance of the awareness of digital twin limitations by decision makers.

In this third and final episode of a mini-series on AI Ethics, we focus on Explainable AI (X-AI) as a means of understanding what the model considers. The conversation covers topics such as:

• What is explainable AI, how does it work and how mature is it?
• Does explainability come at a cost, in terms of performance or otherwise?
• The benefits of understanding AI models, and the realization they are not limited to ethics and compliance!

In this episode, Tim & I exchange ideas with the esteemed José Antonio Oramas Mogrovejo and Ali Anwar from UAntwerp

Datatopics is a podcast presented by Kevin Missoorten to talk about the fuzzy and misunderstood concepts in the world of data, analytics, and AI. In this second episode of a mini-series on AI Ethics, we zoom in on the role of regulation and legislation to ensure AI remains ethical, addressing complex questions such as:

• What is the role of legislation with regard to AI Ethics? Aren’t we going to make things more complex and slow down development?
• Is legislation not lagging behind? And how do we reconcile all the regional variations?
• The unexpected benefits of creating a “technical person” as a new form of "legal person".

In this episode, Virginie, Tim, Rob Heyman and I tackle these and many more questions with the expert in the room Jan de Bruyne!
