That's why we captured this insightful discussion at the FARI Institute in Brussels. Join us and Jan Danckaert, Chancellor of Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), as we explore AI not as a mere tool, but as a transformative force in education, research, and governance.

At the end of April, just a few days before becoming CEO of Belfius, we engaged with Olivier Onclin to unpack what it truly takes to move from traditional digital channels to conversational AI, and why the "wow" factor only matters if the underlying processes are rebuilt end to end.
