Sessions featuring Stefan Weitz at HumanX Amsterdam 2026
Amsterdam, AI & What Comes Next
Amsterdam’s deputy mayor framed the city as the Netherlands’ AI epicenter and a prospective European hub for responsible, people-centered AI. She urged Europe to build strategic autonomy, support disruptive innovation through NADI, retain growing startups with European investment, and turn AI into something that works for society.
Welcome to HumanX Amsterdam
Stefan Weitz argues that asking whether Europe is “behind” in AI misses Europe’s durable advantages: irreplaceable infrastructure like ASML, deep institutional data, and domain expertise. He reframes regulation as a potential scaling mechanism, while acknowledging the AI Act remains unclear and pilots stall when nobody owns governance sign-off.
“AI without governance is simply a toy.”
Pim de Witte in conversation with Constantijn Van Oranje-Nassau
Pim de Witte explained how Medal TV’s large game-recording dataset led General Intuition toward pixel-to-action models that can generate actions from visual input. He argued that video games offer unusually diverse, labeled spatial-temporal data, making them useful for robotics, computer use, and models that perceive while acting.
Opening remarks
The session opened Humanex Amsterdam by framing AI progress as a balance between Europe’s rigor and America’s speed. Stefan Weitz welcomed attendees, pointed them to Granola-generated session summaries and the Humanex Rewind, then introduced Jelle Prince to share news about the Dutch DARPA initiative.
“In AI, one without the other is either too slow or too fragile.”
