Is AI threatening our jobs or are we simply not ready for it?
Technology is only half the story. The human side of AI, how people adapt, lead and grow alongside it, is what determines whether Hyperautomation actually delivers. This episode puts that human side centre stage.
Hosted by Davy Kenis, this AE podcast puts one of the most pressing questions of our time to three guests who are living it every day: is AI threatening our jobs, or are we simply not ready for it?
Nicky Dries, Professor at the Future of Work Lab (KU Leuven), unpacks what makes today's AI wave fundamentally different from earlier technological shifts and which jobs are already feeling the heat.
Jonas Maeyens, CEO of Highsail, shares how his company is using AI far beyond elevator inspections, positioning itself as the AI assistant for technicians in the field, and what he learned when the technology finally met reality on the ground.
Koen Van Loo, CIO at Groep S, zooms out to the labour market: why young people are finding it harder to find their footing and who bears the responsibility for preparing them.
Keeping the conversation sharp throughout is Jo De Bruyne, change management and transformation specialist at AE.

Hyperautomation: from AI hype to scalable business value
Organisations have started experimenting with AI — but turning isolated pilots into sustainable impact remains a major challenge.
That’s where hyperautomation comes in: not as a toolset, but as an organisational capability that connects AI, data, integration and governance to deliver intelligent workflows at scale.
In AE’s latest podcast panel discussion, our experts explore how hyperautomation helps close the AI value gap — enabling businesses to move beyond hype and build foundations for repeatable, responsible automation.

AI doesn't fix broken systems - it amplifies them. Lessons from the DORA Community
AI doesn’t magically fix broken systems — it makes the cracks impossible to ignore.
That theme surfaced powerfully in a recent conversation where the global DORA community, AI-assisted software delivery, and the rise of hyperautomation all came together.
Instead of focusing on tools alone, the discussion dove into how value stream mapping, platform engineering, and organisational culture are reshaping the way modern teams build and ship software. Insights from Davy Kenis, Dick Bevernage, and Nathen Harvey — Lead of the DORA Research Program at Google Cloud — highlighted a shared message: success in the AI era isn’t about doing more, but about doing things differently.
