Attending the Microsoft #AIHorizons25 Summit in Brussels. 2 Days of the latest innovations and regulations in AI. Microsoft's "implementation" of the #EUAIAct and lots of policy workshops. I feel a bit out of place with all the people in suits around me, haha, but great conversations already ☺️

Today, I had the immense pleasure of helping in the vineyard of Colonjes , in Groesbeek, Netherlands. Adam, the winemaker, explained in detail the art of winter pruning and the theory behind it. Thanks Adam and team! Awesome experience, awesome day! #winetasting #winemaking #winelover

I’m honored to be a judge for the 2025 #ImagineCup Minimum Viable Product round and witness students build startups with AI and Microsoft technologies. The future of innovation is in their hands and I’m excited to see what comes next! ✨Learn more: aka.ms/2025ImagineCup

Perhaps Shell should check their AI generated images a bit better before using them in official email communication. They even used their logo to encircle the image error 🤣 #aigonewrong

My year in sport 2024. Quite happy with the results. I started running again, after 5 or so years. Let's keep on doing that in 2025 + spend a bit more time on the bikes. #yearinsport

New section added in chapter 7, about a setting in sensitivity labels to "prevent connected experiences that analyse content". Nice feature, but not with #MicrosoftCopilot. Read more here: www.eekels.net/microsoft-36...

Hey @sharegateshaylyn.bsky.social, do I have them all or am I missing a pair? 😁 Not sure about the order 😅 #ShareGate

Yes, food makes us happy ☺️ And the AI Community too! #AICommunityDay

Nope, we're not near Artificial Superintelligence yet. But in narrow systems, there are systems that outperform 100% of humanity already! Nice overview by @t-redactyl.bsky.social at #AICommunityDay

Passing skill-based assessments does not imply general intelligence, according to @t-redactyl.bsky.social. Agreed! #AICommunityDay

My 2nd time watching @maarten.eekels.net on Ethics and AI. Love this fun (yet scary!) session. But now I know why a husky is sometimes a wolf 😜. #aicommunityday
