Learning in the Age of AI @ Xebia
Wecome to a the MLOps Community Meetups - EdTech Special in Amsterdam! This time, we are diving into how AI can be leveraged to support learning and education, beyond prompting ChatGPT to act like a tutor. Huge shoutout to Xebia for collaborating with us and making this event possible.

Talks:
#1. How I Use AI To Learn - Rens Dimmendaal
When I use coding agents, it feels like snacking on unhealthy food. Sure, it feels great in the moment... but afterwards: where did the time go? What did I actually accomplish? Do I understand any of what got built?
That worries me. If I let AI do everything for me, I'll hollow myself out, and in the end have nothing to offer beyond the AI itself.
That's why my work at Answer.AI focuses on building tools that make you sharper, not softer.
In this talk I'll demo a few open source ones and walk through the principles behind them.
#2. Demanding Better Tools: A New Hope - Vincent Warmerdam
Agents are better if they can fix their own problems. And yet ...
... when people use agents with Python, they would make changes to files on the file system and maybe have the agent call a CLI on their behalf. But they never really poke inside of a Python program. They typically don't have access to variables or the memory.
So, what happens when we actually do allow our agents to do this? And how?
#3. TBD
Stick around for drinks, insights, and great conversations with fellow AI and ML enthusiasts!
