Darwin (bioloog 1809-1882) zei het al: "Het zijn niet de sterkste soorten die overleven, en ook niet de meest intelligente. Het is het soort dat het best reageert op veranderingen." En dat geldt zeker in het huidige tijdperk van AI! De ontwikkelingen gaan razendsnel, met nieuwe modellen zoals o3 van OpenAI die zelfs de moeilijkste wiskundige testen kunnen doorstaan. Maar deze revolutie komt niet zonder uitdagingen
Dankzij de review en publicatie via het internationale netwerk van Consultancy.nl, is mijn E-book ‘The Pyramid Upside Down – How Humans and AI can achieve more together in the new era of Professional Services’ inmiddels wereldwijd gedownload. Ben dus wel een beetje blij 😊 Voor wie het gemist heeft: in "The Pyramid Upside Down" beschrijf ik niet alleen de veranderingen die AI teweegbrengt in de belasting-, advocatuur- en accountancysector, maar geeft ook concrete handvatten voor een veilige en verantwoorde inzet ervan (https://lnkd.in/eVfzNXEy). Luister ook naar de GenAI-gegenereerde podcast over dit onderwerp op Spotify (zoek: Canton Capital).
Een belangrijke reden voor mij om tot het bestuur van AIC4NL toe te treden, is om het bedrijfsleven te ondersteunen met innoveren op basis van veilige en verantwoorde AI. AIC4NL, actief ondersteund door de Nederlandse overheid, helpt bedrijven succesvol te ondernemen in het tijdperk van AI.
Ik ben bijzonder verheugd dat ik per 1 januari 2025 als bestuurder ecosysteem bij AI Coalitie voor Nederland aan de slag kan gaan. Dit is voor mij een ideale combinatie om mijn interesse, passie en ervaring in technologie en AI in te zetten voor de Nederlandse samenleving.
When presenting to clients and prospects the LEXGEN A.I. platform, the issue of AI’s perceived lack of transparency often arises. As a new industry, building trust is key for the responsible and safely adaption of AI. A recent McKinsey article ‘Building AI trust: The key role of explainability’ underscores the importance of Explainable AI (XAI) in addressing this concern and fostering trust in AI implementation.
Thrilled to share that LexGenius has joined the NVIDIA Inception Program! This reminds me of my early days leading Gentronics, where collaborating with tech giants like Microsoft and Dell was instrumental in our transformation into a global leader in IT managed services.
During our Silicon Valley trip last week, I had the opportunity to visit Nvidia, among other technology leaders and investors. At Nvidia in Santa Clara, I had an inspirational and mind-blowing meeting with Malcolm deMayo and Goutham Belliappa, gaining valuable insights into the future of AI.
Last Thursday, Raúl Maduro, CEO of Lexgen AI, won the Access to Justice Fund 2024 from Pels Rijcken Advocaten.
A recent report, Status of the small and medium enterprises (SME) (Staat van het MKB), published by the Dutch Comité voor Ondernemerschap and featured in the Financieele Dagblad, highlights a pressing issue: Dutch SMEs are falling behind in innovation, which is limiting their productivity growth and widening the gap with larger corporations.

In the fast-paced world of private equity, the pressure to deliver exceptional returns is constant. Savvy PE firms are increasingly turning to a powerful tool to drive portfolio company value and achieve those coveted higher exit multiples: AI.
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the rise of "Shadow AI" has become a pressing concern for organizations. Shadow AI refers to the unauthorized or unmanaged use of AI tools and applications within an organization. While these tools can undoubtedly boost productivity and efficiency, they also pose significant risks, including data breaches, compliance violations, and reputational damage.
Ever had a GenAI model confidently present you with information that's just... off? Maybe it's a historical figure's biography filled with events that never happened, or scientific data that's completely made up. That is what we call a "hallucination."
Shadow IT isn't just employees taking initiative; it's a red flag for deeper IT & cultural issues.
I recently came across a LinkedIn post where someone was complaining about GenAI not living up to the hype. While it's true that GenAI might not be a magic bullet, it's important to remember that its effectiveness is intrinsically tied to the quality of data it's fed.
Today's Het Financieele Dagblad article written by Edwin van der Schoot, "Krappe arbeidsmarkt remt groei zakelijke dienstverlening," highlighted a critical issue: the shortage of skilled professionals is hindering growth in professional services.
I've decided to combine my last 5 LinkedIn posts. Why? Based on the number of views and comments, the raised topics, concerns, and advice seem to be of great interest. And it should be.
As I shared before, democratization is key to unlocking its full potential for your organization. This means fostering empowerment, robust governance, and continuous improvement. Here is my advice:
A data check-up isn't much different than a regular oil check for your car. You wouldn't wait for the dashboard to light up before taking action, right? The same goes for your data. Neglect it, and you'll be surprised how quickly "useless data" piles up, becoming a costly mess to fix. Believe me, I've seen it far too often.
Did you know that over 50% of ERP applications remain on-premise, often burdened by 10-50% customizations? This legacy tech debt can be a major roadblock to innovation and agility. But there's a solution: low-code/no-code platforms.
The future belongs to those who embrace change. Don't allow your IT strategy to hold you back. It’s time to be bold! Let’s now move up the NEXT level.
My answer would be YES. In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, staying ahead of the curve is not just a competitive advantage, it's a necessity.
Phil Simon's "Low-Code/No-Code" book has opened my eyes to the incredible potential of this technology to revolutionize the way businesses operate and innovate. It's a game-changer, and here's why.
