From Code to Cognition: Programming Languages, Foundation Models & AI at Scale

​THERE IS NOW A WAITING LIST FOR THIS EVENT. WE DO EXPECT PLACES TO BECOME AVAILABLE CLOSER TO THE DATE. SO DO SIGN UP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!

​What happens when the creator of Python, a pioneer of open-source foundation models, and a builder of large-scale AI systems come together?

​Join Guido van Rossum, Euro Beinat and Vanessa Evers for a rare, cross-layer conversation spanning the full AI stack — from the languages we write, to the models we train, to the systems that operate in the real world.​

​Guido van Rossum
Creator of Python, the programming language that underpins modern software development and much of today’s AI ecosystem. His work fundamentally reshaped how developers write, scale, and think about code.

​Euro Beinat
AI leader at Prosus, building and deploying large-scale AI systems across a global portfolio of companies. Operating at the intersection of advanced research and real-world impact at scale.

​Vanessa Evers

​Director-General, National Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science CWI. Chief Science Advisor, Ministry of OCW.
