- In de AI Media Barometer 2026 van Arteveldehogeschool gebruikt 98% van de communicatieprofessionals AI op het werk. Nu telt vooral: wat levert het je op? Dat is ook het thema van de barometer dit jaar: waarde. Vijf cijfers die we onthouden: 🔹 88% heeft AI in een vaste workflow. In 2024 was dat nog 68%. 🔹 Tekst is de sterkhouder: 86% schrijft tekst met AI. Beeld, video of audio volgt op 48%. Daar ligt nog veel ruimte. 🔹 92% is geïnteresseerd in praktische toepassingen. 🔹 De grootste vrees is je eigen stem kwijtraken (48%). 🔹
- Only 2 more weeks until Tectonic... I will have the honor and the pleasure to discuss Belgium's tech future with Minister Vincent Van Peteghem. I'm grateful that the Minister is willing to show up for the +1000 entrepreneurs, enterprise leaders and investors at Tectonic. Belgium has the potential to become a relevant player in Europe as demonstrated by the recent announcements of Aikido Security and TechWolf, as well as the growth stories from a new generation of champions like Tekst, Chift API, WARREN, Conveo, Timefold,

- AI moves fast. Your processes shouldn't fall behind. Our matching models are the latest example of how Tekst keeps customers at the cutting edge. Especially relevant if you work with large volumes of master data and want to speed up quotation, order or claims processing. Our Head of Engineering explains the tech behind them 👇
- What happens when AI leaves the demo environment? Well, consequences. 💁♂️ Last night, Tiebe Parmentier (Tekst), Lucas Van Dijck (Polysense), Jarno G. (Aikido Security) and our own Tristan Vermeesch had four pretty different takes on how to deal with these consequences. A huge thank you to everyone who joined, we had a full house despite the rain. Certainly not a bad start for our first Gent tech meetup. More from last evening's #AIwithConsequences to share soon... aaand there's already another meetup in the works. Watch
- Most AI work in the port does not need a frontier model. It needs one that is good enough and that can run on your own hardware. Tekst co-founder Tiebe Parmentier makes that case in KNACK: Chinese open weight models now sit close to the American ones in capability, at a much lower price. For plenty of production tasks, close is enough. The sharper point is the one underneath it. A Chinese model is not a Chinese service. Download the weights, run them on your own infrastructure, and no data leaves the building. What you take on
