I'm studying for a wine exam. Asked Copilot (GPT-5) to come up with an overview of wine regions in the world with an upper and a lower part. The overview was far from complete but not wrong. Copilot then suggested to make me a map. I said yes. I wish I hadn't... #wineregions #wset4 #microsoftcopilot

MCP is the USB for AI, according to @thomygoelles.com. I like it! It provides spec and a plug-in system. It reduces dev time and complexity. By the way, Thomy brought his agents Stephan Bisser and @appie.schot.tech to #CollabDaysBE ☺️

In reality, AI isn’t an autopilot. It’s a copilot.

We spoke with @maarten.eekels.net, Global Solution Director for Data & AI at Rapid Circle, about how organizations can adopt AI responsibly while keeping people at the center.

Check out these 5 lessons:

5 Takeaways on AI as a Copilot (Not Autopolit) from Rapid Circle’s Maarten Eekels
As AI adoption accelerates, many still see it as a shortcut or a threat. But the reality is more nuanced: AI isn’t an autopilot replacing human judgment.
