Flanders AI Forum 2024
The development of AI continues at lightning speed. This does not only apply to those who are applying AI in their company for the first time, it is also not easy for those who have already integrated AI to keep up. How do you get started with AI responsibly? How are other companies implementing artificial intelligence? And how does this make your business a lot easier? On 11 June, you will meet the Flemish experts in the field of AI and Flemish AI ecosystems in Ghent and you will have the opportunity to ask them all your questions. #FlandersAI

Teachers / speakers
Femke works part-time at VAIA (the Flemish AI Academy) as a project leader. In addition, she is appointed as a senior lecturer at Ghent University in the field of Software Engineering. The focus of her research lies in making software systems adaptive in an intelligent way. Central to this is the awareness that software solutions do not always work for everyone and that there is no single, one-size-fits-all approach. In terms of applications, she mainly focuses on the broad domain of healthcare—for example, the personalization of physical activity stimulation. This also explains the strong link between her research and her assignments within VAIA. The learning pathways for AI in healthcare closely align with her interests and expertise.
