When Machines Decide: The Future of Work, Mobility & Leadership (feat Carlo van de Weijer)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI is no longer just a tool - it’s becoming a teammate.
In this episode of Exponential Africa, Mic Mann sits down with Carlo van de Weijer, Director of the Eindhoven AI Systems Institute and one of the leading voices on AI, mobility, and digital transformation.
Together, they unpack the rise of agentic AI - systems that don’t just assist, but make decisions - and what this means for the future of work, leadership, and entire industries.
From autonomous mobility to AI-powered organisations, this conversation explores the critical shift from demo-driven hype to real-world impact - and why most AI transformations fail before they even begin.
