ir. Ilyaz Nasrullah

In this unique lecture/workshop, Ilyaz will let you experience what it is like to be an algorithm through an exercise. After this exercise, Ilyaz will explain the principles behind algorithmic decision-making in an accessible yet profound manner, and he will tell you when you can and when you definitely should not use this type of technology.

In this lecture, Ilyaz explains what human-centred innovation is and how you can start working with it. The fact that the term ‘human-centred innovation’ exists already shows, according to him, that innovation is usually not focused on people. Ilyaz discusses research that shows innovation is indeed often aimed at efficiency and presents remarkable and touching examples of both system-oriented and human-centred innovation.

Since the arrival of ChatGPT, it seems the whole world is captivated by artificial intelligence. Big Tech companies warn that humanity could be wiped out by AI, while they themselves are fiercely competing with each other around AI. The same companies also claim that AI can bring humanity a glorious future.

According to Ilyaz, both views are nonsense. He calls artificial intelligence impressive, but also much dumber than you think. In this lecture, Ilyaz provides a sobering look inside the AI factory, so you can better determine when to use tools like ChatGPT and when not to.

Ilyaz is happy to create customised lectures. With his broad and deep knowledge of innovation and digital technology, he is able to create an insightful lecture on both mainstream and niche topics. In the past, Ilyaz has been asked to speak about addiction to dating apps, pitfalls in the policy around the European decentralised identity, the literary side of video games, and more.
