Wennink came at the invitation of AI student association AISO, at the start of the academic year. AISO aims not only to prepare students better for a future with AI, but also to involve them actively in the debate on AI and talent development. In his advisory report, Wennink identifies digitalisation and AI as a domain in which the Netherlands needs to innovate. To date, the debate on AI innovation has centred largely on investment and policy, and rather little on talent. It was precisely that question of talent that took centre stage in two panel discussions.

Peter Wennink at the UvA: AI innovation calls for broad talent and collaboration
What kind of talent does the Netherlands need as AI develops at breakneck speed? And what role does the university play in this? These were the questions Peter Wennink — the former ASML chief executive and author of the report De route naar toekomstige welvaart ('The route to future prosperity') — discussed with UvA executives, educational professionals and students at Roeterseiland Campus on 8 September.
