Hi, I’m Seppe!

I work on Responsible AI at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), risk management, and governance, with a clear mission: AI that benefits everyone.

With over five years of experience in AI, including the last three years focused specifically on Responsible AI, I specialize in helping organizations unlock the value of AI while proactively managing its risks. I combine hands-on technical expertise with a strong governance mindset, enabling me to translate complex regulatory and ethical requirements into concrete, actionable guidance for both technical and business stakeholders.

I play a central role in developing and scaling Datashift’s Responsible AI offering. Achievements I am particularly proud of include:
- Implementing Belgium’s first successful AI risk management framework for AI front-runners
- Acting as a trusted advisor to more than 15 strategic clients on Responsible AI
- Designing an internal screening process to assess the risks of all AI systems developed by Datashift
- Working on real-world AI systems ranging from agentic AI and customer-facing chatbots to healthcare AI, government evaluation systems, and pricing models in banking

What once felt like a “weakness” - an atypical background - has become my greatest strength. I combine hands-on technical experience in AI with an academic background in Criminology, Management, and Applied Economics, allowing me to connect societal impact, business value, and technical robustness. This unique perspective enables me to bridge the needs of executives, risk managers, and AI practitioners.

I began my speaking journey through Datashift’s internal knowledge-sharing sessions, and quickly expanded to community meet-ups, webinars, conferences, and interactive workshops, engaging audiences ranging from beginners to seasoned experts.

I am passionate about sharing insights on Responsible AI because AI is too valuable to ignore, yet too risky to approach carelessly.

Outside of Responsible AI, you’ll most likely find me in the gym - training my lifts and preparing for my next competition, such as the European Weightlifting Championships.
