Betrouwbaarheid in tijden van GenAI (deepfakes) & datalekken
2026-03-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Forumzaal OBA A’dam (floor 6), Oosterdokskade 143, Amsterdam, 1011DL, Netherlands
Op 18 maart organiseren OBA en Sensemakers twee lezingen over betrouwbaarheid in tijden van AI en datalekken.

De eerste lezing gaat over datalekken, waarbij criminelen gegevens over jou hebben buitgemaakt. Wat nu, waar moet je op letten? Naar aanleiding van de recente datalekken vertelt Armin van Politie Eenheid Amsterdam aan de hand van voorbeelden hoe criminelen hier gebruik van maken en wat jij kunt doen.

De tweede lezing gaat over wat er kan met AI en hoe criminelen hier gebruik van maken, bijvoorbeeld met deepfake plaatjes en nagemaakte stemmen. Is het nog mogelijk om te weten wat betrouwbaar is? En wanneer is dat belangrijk? Want met AI kan ook veel leuks en goeds gedaan worden. Aan de hand van voorbeelden laat Manon van Politie Eenheid Amsterdam zien waar je het tegenkomt en hoe je beter kunt herkennen of iets echt of nep is. Er is veel ruimte voor vragen en voor de positieve en nuttige kanten van AI.

Deze Nederlandstalige lezing is bedoeld voor iedereen die meer wil weten over de risico’s van deepfakes (denk aan stemklonen, plaatjes en chatgpt) en wat het betekent als je een mail krijgt dat jouw gegevens in een datalek stonden.
