"Jarno gave a lecture at HKU about Synthetic Media: Artificial Creativity. Using many examples, Jarno showed what is possible in the fascinating world of deepfakes. Interesting and frightening at the same time, and enough food for thought. His lecture was received with great enthusiasm."

"Working with Jarno is always a pleasure. Also for Frankwatching's most recent Conversational Commerce Event, Jarno actively thought with me, was open to ideas and provided a strong opening keynote on the day itself. A valuable addition to the program, both in content and in person."

"Jarno took us into the rapidly changing digital world with an emphasis on artificial intelligence. During his talk he made a clear link to our business which makes it not only very interesting but also very relevant. Certainly an added value for us as inspiration but also as a reminder that it is important to know what is happening around us so that we as a company can better respond to it."

"Jarno's story was very well received and it helps me as a manager to look together with my colleagues for the opportunities that the digital transformation has to offer. As far as I'm concerned, there is no battle between man and machine. The trick is to become more intelligent as a human with a machine. Jarno has woken us up. Thanks for that!"

"Attractive, clear and balanced - that's how I would characterize Jarno Duursma's lecture. Too often trendwatchers mainly promise golden mountains about the future. Jarno Duursma speaks inspiringly about future digital trends, but with the necessary critical reflection, and always with an eye for the human being."

"Sometimes you're lucky and by chance a speaker appears on your path who can playfully inject the necessary dynamics into your ICT quarterly meeting. Jarno not only highlighted the latest IT trends in a humorous way, but also sparked the necessary discussions about the bright and dark sights of ever-increasing automation. He even managed to make the link to our business operations and thus contributed to a successful afternoon."

"Jarno gave an update on the latest technoligy trends. Within short time we were up to speed on topics such as artificial intelligence, conversational commerce, et cetera. In his own - sometimes humorous - way you get inspired, so you can continue to explore your interests. As far as I'm concerned, it was a lecture that surpassed the rest of the day in terms of content. "

"Jarno's lecture helped us to understand the impact of artificial intelligence on people, companies and even the whole society. His fresh view on the digital future inspired our team but also warned us not to forget the human factor. Because in the future, the human factor will be the one that makes you stand out as a company."

"Jarno was the final guest speaker at our customer day. He gave a fluent presentation with practical examples of technologies that sometimes still seem a bit elusive. It was important to us that our customers could imagine how they could apply new technologies in their own business. Jarno certainly succeeded in doing that. It was an informative, interesting, but also entertaining end to the day. Thanks a lot!"

"For the first edition of our online digital marketing event at Achmea, Jarno gave a lecture on synthetic media and deepfakes. Jarno conveys the message with a lot of energy and makes the subject very accessible, also for colleagues who have little digital knowledge. With the help of striking examples you are completely taken into the world of this new technology."
