Fleur Prince talks with Rafael Lion, co-lead of AI Salon Eindhoven, about why he helped bring the global AI community to Brainport. They cover why the events charge a small entry fee (and the 81% show rate it helps deliver), the state of the AI ecosystem around the High Tech Campus, Europe's place in AI, how to get founders, makers and policymakers talking, responsible AI for everyday people, and how both of them use AI in daily life. Note: Rafael answers mostly in Dutch. Follow AI Salon Eindhoven on LinkedIn and Luma for upcoming events.
