AI can be found in many sectors, but it is certainly popular with gamers. For example, Google DeepMind is making a bot that is so bright it can beat human top players. It already succeeded in AlphaGo. Technology is becoming so smart that people can sometimes no longer follow its logic, and that also worries some people. Cooperation and common sense appear to be the most important keywords. "Monitor the technology you use, detect issues and make adjustments," keynote speaker Jurriaan van Diggelen commented.

Researcher Zoltan Szlavik discusses ethics in his talk. "Face recognition with AI can be very dangerous," he notes. It should not run wild, like with a face recognition app which did not consider African American features when it was built, and that group was subsequently classified as ‘apes’ by the algorithm..

Keynote speaker Jurriaan van Diggelen explains the three different approaches to Artifical Intelligence: techno centrism, human centrism and the collective perspective. In short, there are people who believe that technology is more intelligent and can make better decisions than humans. Another group believes that people should remain to make certain decisions that are of a less framed context. And there is a group that believes that people should work together with technology to achieve the best result.

“The members of the FruitPunch foundation are more attracted to the latter,” founder Buster Franken believes. He is a bit reminiscent of Mark Zuckerberg: broad experience and interest, with guts and humor. And available for weddings and bar mitzvahs, if you are still looking for someone. But now coming to the point: during the event it soon becomes clear that FruitPunch has a right to exist. More than 150 interested people showed up during this second edition of the event. During the opening, everyone is asked whether they are researchers, entrepeneurs or students. The distribution is roughly proportional, with a small outlier among the students.
