// Upcoming Events
European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning. One of the oldest and most serious AI conferences in Europe.
International speakers on AI and machine learning in football. Tactical analysis, player scouting, strategic decision-making. KU Leuven, 16:15.
Research seminar by Kushal Jayesh Tatariya. Data quality and model interpretability beyond English-centric assumptions. When NLP stops at the language border.
We’re hosting our first event. Bring a laptop, bring your AI stack, and show up at Cafe de Fiere Margriet in Leuven. No agenda. Just builders in a room.
// The Great Return
An ongoing research series on the structural migration from cloud to local AI in Europe. Based on the paper by Ron Spoelstra.
-
Four incidents. One pattern. Sophisticated attackers moved from systems to people. What that means for local AI.
-
The institution that wrote the AI Act was breached on AWS. 350 GB. The regulator confirmed it. Scorecard: 12/30.
-
Compliant local AI agents are the architecture regulators wanted. Attackers found another use for them.
-
Open weights are not a preference. For European regulated-sector organisations, they are the compliance path.
