Learn the basics of generative AI with 6 comprehensive, easy and accessible sessions
Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that are capable of producing original content like images, text, or music without direct replication from existing data. These systems are designed to learn patterns and trends from extensive datasets during training to generate innovative outputs. It has applications in multiple industries. Learning more about generative AI is essential to be able to harness the potential of AI-driven creativity, leading to innovation, efficiency, and new opportunities in various domains.

What you’ll learn during Bootcamp Generative AI
Day 1: Kick off day | 3 April 2025
How intelligent is the ‘I’ in AI? Professor Doctor Emile Aarts, specialized in business adoption with AI, will address the (historical) positioning and socio-economic actuality of AI and generative methods.
Day 2: The basics of Generative AI: Natural Language Processing (NLP) | 17 April 2025
We are not talking about a new Star Wars adventure; this is real! Talking to computers is possible, but also deep fakes and fake news. What is new about generative AI? How does it differ from traditional machine learning? What are the limits to the current models? Learn it here in discussion with Uzay Kaymak, Full Professor of Information Systems in Healthcare at JADS.
Day 3: Using Generative AI in business and transforming entrepreneurship | 8 May 2025
Imagine a world where entrepreneurs have access to a revolutionary tool. That ignites their creativity, uncovers untapped market opportunities, and propels their businesses to new heights. The steps needed to make that world a reality are now being taken at JADS. Take your first step with the lecture of Doctor Plato Leung, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship.
Day 4: Ethics and how to make generative AI explainable and responsible | 22 May 2025
We all love ChatGPT and Dall-E because these tools for generating text and images are easy to use and the results generally look really good. But on what data are these models actually trained? Do we care? And what happens with your input data? In this session Dr. Meike Nauta touches upon risks and ethical considerations of generative AI, including bias, discrimination and privacy. Dr. Meike Nauta is Senior Data Scientist at Datacation and Doctor in Explainable AI and Interpretable Computer Vision.
Day 5: Work with generative AI by yourself, today | 5 June 2025
Let’s wrap up all you have seen and heard together with Emil Rijcken, a PhD candidate specialized in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. With him you will work with prompt engineering and function calling. Using a practical case, his startup experience, he will guide you in how you can use Generative AI (like Chat GPT) in your business today.
Day 6: Develop a chatbot | 19 June 2025
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build a custom AI-powered chatbot to optimize your workflow and save time. You’ll gain practical skills, master effective prompts, and stay ahead with the latest AI advancements—less routine, more impact. This day will be guided by Wiemer Kuik, or guest lecturer from Hogeschool Utrecht.
