The AI Magician
Hendrik van Zwol, also known as the ‘AI Magician’, is a popular speaker on artificial intelligence (AI). He consistently receives high ratings. In a fun and humorous way, Hendrik takes you into the wonderful world of AI.
Our consultants would be happy to advise you on how best to tailor the narrative to your specific target audience.
Hendrik van Zwol, better known as the AI Magician, knows how to bring this topic to life in a unique way. He combines humor, wonder, substance, and engages his audience in a story full of ‘ooo’ moments and ‘wow’ examples. This makes artificial intelligence not only understandable but also captivating and memorable.
No lengthy PowerPoints or dry theory, but stories and demos that you can really use. How did ChatGPT sound two years ago? What went wrong with a chatbot that suddenly started handing out business class tickets? And how did Microsoft’s AI fall in love with a human?
His original perspective and creative applications of AI have regularly garnered media attention. He has appeared on shows such as Eva Jinek, RTL Nieuws, Radio 538, and in the Algemeen Dagblad. These media appearances earned him the nickname: the AI Magician, someone who not only explains what AI is but also truly brings it to life with self-made AI creations that he uses live.
Starting May 21, 2026, Hendrik will be seen weekly at 8:30 PM on NPO 2 in the new program “Jekels Jacht naar het eeuwige leven”. Together with Diederik Jekel and Catalina, Hendrik will investigate how we can use artificial intelligence to extend our lives.
From education and government to SMEs, large organizations, healthcare, and creative sectors. Hendrik tailors his story to every audience, whether it’s young people, professionals, seniors, or executive teams of large companies.
In addition to his lectures and training sessions, Hendrik advises organizations on AI. He looks at how to work more efficiently with AI, smart AI tools, privacy, ethics, and creativity.
The result? An inspiring session where participants are on the edge of their seats, pleasantly surprised, and leave with new ideas.
His mission? To show how AI makes life easier and more enjoyable. This way, you have time left for the things that really matter.
Join me on a journey through the Wonderful World of AI. The lecture begins seemingly simple: with an old fax, a home telephone, and a legendary Nokia 3210. This humorous, recognisable start immediately sets the tone: technology changes rapidly. Software developments now spread rapidly across the world, a lens through which we must view AI: is this a temporary hype or a technological revolution?
Hendrik perfectly aligns his session with the audience with concrete, practical AI tools that are directly applicable in daily practice. From smart text generation to work automation, participants discover how AI can be not only efficient but also surprisingly fun.
Depending on the setting, the end of the lecture can vary, with interactive elements such as a quiz about AI, explanations about deepfakes and online security, or creative live acts where AI composes music or brings images to life.
Hendrik’s session is never a one-way story; it is an inspiring experience that makes people laugh, think, and above all, act. Participants are guaranteed to go home with insights, practical tips, and above all, a great desire to start working with AI themselves.
