Public Engagement

I regularly give presentations and interviews about language technology and AI for various audiences, from policymakers and professionals to educators and the general public. I try to keep the news section (at the bottom of the home page) updated with recent engagements.

Resources

In collaboration with VAIA (Flemish AI Academy), I created five knowledge clips about generative AI and language technology, which are freely available (in Dutch, with English subtitles) on YouTube. These videos provide accessible explanations of AI concepts for professional and educational contexts.
