Manon den Dunnen

During this Sensemakers meetup Marc van Andel (Kadaster) will talk about the challenges of the National Sensor Registry that is being realized for the Netherlands. And Manon den Dunnen will share the latest insights on synthetic media. Experts believe that in a few years, 90% of the online content will be synthetic. What are the opportunities for organisations, and how about threats like deepfakes?

Sensemakers next meetup will focus on Machine Learning (ML) and Security at the edge. Is there a difference in running AI on the  edge versus the cloud, how do you realize the same Machine Learning results for personalization of services and what are  specific edge security issues? Join us here with two industry experts:
1. Renuka Nadkarni CTO of F5 as the speaker on Edge security
2. Vera Serdiukova, Sr. Product Manager AI from Salesforce on Machine Learning on the Edge

There is so much that you can solve and make yourself! Why adapt your ambition to what is available for you?
For this evening we managed a great line up; Joris van Tubergen, designer, inventor and expert in the field of 3D printing and Stijn Kuipers, Lead Designer @ This is not Rocket Science and Nadya Peek, from the Machine Agency research group at Washington University focussing at harnessing the precision of machines for the creativity of individuals.

So expect creative design, sustainable design, audiodesign, digital fabricage and a lot of inspiration!

Every 3th Wednesday, the Sensemakers Amsterdam community invites interesting speakers, this evening ao:
Boban Vukicevic is a startup mentor, supervisory board member digital transformation and university lecturer Smart Services (Internet of Things for Business) at Open University where he shares his insights on the conditions necessary for a successful IoT implementation and the associated digital transformation of a company. The highlights will be shared with us in this talk!

Every 3th Wednesday SensemakersAMS invites interesting speakers, this evening:
- Jilles Groenendijk, hardware hacker, on the importance of hacking your hardware before using it!
- Designer and Innovator Anouk Wipprecht is working in the emerging field of  "FashionTech"; a rare combination of fashion design combined with engineering, science and interaction/user experience design. Producing impressive robotic wearables with systems around the body that tend towards artificial intelligence, like her Intel-Edison based spider dress.
In this talk she will share some of her projects and the way she approaches the technical and design challenges.

This evening we have:

Thijs Turel is one of the initiators of the Responsible Sensing Lab, a collaboration between Amsterdam and AMS Institute. Goal of the lab is to use public values (such as tada.city) as a starting point for sensor system development. He will present thoughts on the role of hardware (as opposed to software) in safeguarding public interests and present two project as examples: a millimeter wave sensor for crowdedness sensing trying to push the notion of data minimization a quite a bit further than normally and the ShutterUp project, meant to democratize oversight on cameras in the city by outfitting public cameras with a shutter.

Aurore Paligot, besides her activity as a Data & Analytics Consultant (Positive Thinking Company, Tapp, Sonecom), Aurore Paligot conducts independent research projects on the interface between technology and the humanities. In this presentation, Aurore will propose a reflection on her practices as well as on the place of Data Visualization as an exploratory and reporting tool but also as a privileged point of contact with the public. She will address notions such as data literacy, inclusion, and data modeling, with illustrations from her own projects, the news, and other data visualization designers.
