🚨Super excited a new #idealoading #podcast with 2 brilliant people ❤️ Michelle Lim Ali Shafti on: "Human Machine Understanding - The Machine as team a mate!" Wouldn't it be great if machines could really understand us. The way we talk, think, react, work and interact. Wouldn't that be the perfect extension to us. A perfect collaboration between human and machine? That is exactly what Michelle and Ali are working on. Their field of research is on that fascinating cross road of Psychology & Technology, to build the world context for machines that human naturally have.

We have discussed so many things, but here are the main topics and things you will learn from listing to this podcast:
🤔 What if your washing machine could talk and understand you? 😁
🤼‍♀️ How Machines are moving from tools to teammates!
🤖 What is machine empathy?
🧠 How do we build trust with the machine?
💁What do you see as uniquely human and difficult to replicate into AI?
🤷Will we have small personalised / finetuned models to our habits/thoughts rather than general AI?
📲Jarvis in the pocket - what will this mean for collaboration?

Super excited, what an amazing conversation! Big thank you to my guest! And I hope that they will join us once more! Have fun.

A #masterclass in #intergation by Léon Smiers; “The world is connected but is it interconnected?!” You guessed it the new #idealoading is here and it is all about integration and how to leverage it to drive growth and competitiveness! We talked about:
How Integration drives innovation, #apifycation, eventdriven flow architectures, no data monetization without proper integration, metadata, #WEB3 and integration?! 

One of the most important and yet most forgotten subject in Technology, so I thought let’s shine a light 💡 on it. Being overlooked and underestimated part of IT lead to most organization having a "spaghettini integration" situations. Today Leon and I Discuss what you need to think about before starting to add new systems and tools into you landscape and how you can start untangling your old (FYI it is now by adding olive oil 😊).

Leon is the CTO for integration for Capgemini Netherland and has over 30year experience! Over the last 30 years he has implemented and architected many custom build IT systems and integrated complex landscapes for large companies. Leons passion is to explore new IT technologies and look for applicability for business problems. Acording to Leon growth and competitiveness can only be achieved if you Integration Technology, including API'S, BPM, Data Lakes and Machine Learning are helping you and not standing in your way. 

The Episode with Mark Roberts I shall dub 🤳The  #techgeekout 🚨 💻  an amazing episode of the #idealoading podcast… Just a technology riffing on: ‘The exponential age of tech’ , by two like minded technology curious 🧐 generalists 😊 

Exploring in-debt the questions on everyone's minds?
