Three reasons why I took the job in AI

First of all, we're in the midst of an unprecedented technological revolution.
While the quest for intelligent systems is not new, the arrival of foundation models, such as those powering ChatGPT, has dramatically redefined our performance expectations. Secondly, we are witnessing a profound economic revolution. The exponential growth of these models, their accessibility (notably via open source), and the diversity of their applications signal a genuine paradigm shift. The data economy is rapidly moving towards a new era: that of models and intelligence. And this is just the beginning. New approaches, such as multi-agent systems, are poised to revolutionize the digital landscape, creating value opportunities on an unprecedented scale.

Why is it essential to develop an AI strategy and invest in its implementation?

Throughout history, every industrial revolution—whether powered by steam, electricity, or the Internet—has unlocked boundless opportunities while posing significant challenges. The true game-changers, those who emerge as leaders, are the ones who have the vision and courage to not just adapt, but to reimagine their entire approach to value creation and operations. Companies like Netflix and Amazon didn’t just survive the advent of Web 3; they thrived because they embraced its potential from the very beginning. In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, AI presents the next great frontier. The greatest risk isn’t in the challenges of adapting, but in failing to recognize the profound impact AI will have and the transformative steps necessary to harness its power. To stand still is to fall behind. Those who seize this moment will shape the future.

Why did I choose to join the B12 adventure, part of the YUMA group?

I've been working in AI for along time now.  It seems everyone is claiming expertise in AI, but true depth and experience are rare.
B12 stands out in this crowded field, belonging to a distinguished group of Belgian service companies with over a decade of experience and hundreds of successful projects under their belt. What sets B12 apart isn’t just their impressive track record—it's the heart and dedication of their teams.
I was impressed by the founding team.
These professionals bring together academic excellence, sharp analytical skills, and real-world consulting experience, all driven by a genuine passion to help their clients succeed.
Now, with the recent integration of B12 into the Yuma Group, this commitment to excellence has only grown stronger. The combined expertise of B12 and Yuma is a powerful force, uniquely positioned to guide both national and international clients through the complexities of AI transformation. At a time when the stakes have never been higher, B12’s teams are not just ready to support—they’re ready to inspire and lead the way to a brighter, more innovative future.
