Technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, with Generative Artificial Intelligence now at the forefront of digital transformation. As large language models like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity reshape the landscape, they also bring challenges such as dependencies and vendor lock-ins. In response, the importance of building and managing your own vector databases has never been greater.
We are very proud to announce that Bob van Luijt, CEO & Co-Founder of Weaviate - a groundbreaking company at the forefront of AI-native database development - will give a guest lecture for our Executive Master Informatie Management en Digitale Transformaties (MIMDT) on Friday October 4 at TIAS Tilburg.
