Not only does it advance exponentially fast, it is also a field of study that will very soon affect our daily lives. We will all have to deal with the possibilities and technologies that human genetics have to offer, today and in the coming years. Quite a few questions and dilemmas still have to be answered by us. Do I want to know everything that can be found out from my DNA? And who is allowed to use and read my genetic code? My doctor? The police? The chef of my favourite restaurant? Also, what genetic technologies do I want to use? Do I want to clone my dog, choose my children’s eye colour, or genetically modify them to give them extra talents? Do I want others in society to be allowed to do that? The current and future possibilities of human genetics are simply overwhelming. They are both promising and frightening, chilling and delightful. Lieven gets you up to speed, all in layman's terms, but without unnecessarily dumbing things down. Do not expect a typical science lecture. After all, Lieven has a solid background in stand-up comedy, and cannot hide it. Dubbed the secret Belgian love child of Stephen Fry and Dara Ó Briain, he conveys complex matters in an accessible way, with expertise and the necessary dose of humour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/4368b29f-21fd-42fe-9c33-19bbf5e8ef81/News_DNA_shadow.png DNA show https://www.lievenscheire.com/ai-show daily 0.75 2025-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/4c6ea622-ad83-48d6-bfa7-54c52c4b4215/Lieven+Scheire_AI_poster+UK+TOUR.png AI show - About the show Will you ever ask your home computer what to wear for a certain occasion? Most probably yes. Will judges ever seek advice from Artificial Intelligence to determine criminal sentencing? Some already do. Would you personally be willing to obey an A.I. system? That's what you're doing when you listen to Spotify, follow a Waze route or let your email filter out spam. But what exactly is this Artificial Intelligence that everyone is talking about? And, more importantly, what is it not? Is it computers that can think and reason just like us? No, not yet, and maybe they never will. However, A.I. does give computers and apps abilities they never had before: recognizing faces, naming objects, understanding and speaking human language and even predicting human behavior. These new abilities lead to astonishing possibilities that are steadily becoming visible in our daily lives and in our society. According to some, A.I. combined with robotics is the final piece of the puzzle for a utopia of complete automation. Fully Automated Luxury Communism, all watched over by machines of loving grace. Whether it will evolve that way is far from certain. But the fact that A.I. is already ubiquitous today and will profoundly change our lives in the near future is undeniable. In this show, Lieven Scheire will introduce you to this new superhero of technology in an entertaining and accessible way. You'll get a glimpse of how it all works, what it can already do and what it will be capable of in the future. It's a first encounter with something that might soon become your new friend, butler, advisor, psychologist, personal trainer or guardian angel: Artificial Intelligence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1687174678691-GGQPHV4RZSHC70BU02L7/7_Lieven-Scheire-AI_%C2%A9KREW+Collective.jpg AI show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1687174668353-1HIMLXQSGQPPLXPSGCDJ/4_Lieven-Scheire-AI_%C2%A9KREW+Collective.jpg AI show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1687174674719-CPLUUENPW02WHLXE20LN/6_Lieven-Scheire-AI_%C2%A9KREW+Collective.jpg AI show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1687174680517-C8BH4MJ5HIFJY1GMJGAX/8_Lieven-Scheire-AI_%C2%A9KREW+Collective.jpg AI show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1687174705191-31JT1B4CD39I2348XAEY/11_Lieven-Scheire-AI_%C2%A9KREW+Collective.jpg AI show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1687174701789-ZK5OZSEC1RFPXU882K98/12_Lieven-Scheire-AI_%C2%A9KREW+Collective.jpg AI show https://www.lievenscheire.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1702815592848-AF6I6U9UW7V8BLJV96LD/3.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1687174680517-C8BH4MJ5HIFJY1GMJGAX/7_Lieven-Scheire-AI_%C2%A9KREW+Collective.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1758646338963-JIGIP9530MGEWRWG6J48/Lieven_AI_UK_website_header.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/ff9b176f-ae02-40f7-8c9a-ab809d569487/15.png Home - Lieven appears on the American science podcast ‘That’s Absurd, Please Elaborate’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/1ced7eb8-2319-426d-9bb1-1ec914df86ac/13.png Home - Lieven went viral!

He develops and hosts TV shows, tours with an English-language scientific comedy set on stage, and hosts events for universities and scientific or technological companies. His unique blend of science and comedy is highly appreciated by audiences. He can explain science or interview scientists with both a deep understanding of the subject and witty lightheartedness. Lieven is the face and founder of ’Nerdland’, a popular brand in which he, alongside a group of geeky friends, brings science and technology closer to the broader public. He has written several bestsellers in the Nerdland book series, created multiple science programs for Belgian television, hosts the Nerdland podcast (top 3 podcasts in Belgium) and organizes the country’s biggest science festival: Nerdland Festival. In 2023, the festival attracted more than 20,000 visitors. In his stand-up career, Scheire regularly performs to audiences of 1500+ in Holland and Belgium, and occasionally ventures as far as Spain or Switzerland (he was the headliner at the first edition of the CERN comedy festival in 2013). In 2015, Lieven made his Edinburgh Fringe debut, selling out all shows, but he is no stranger to performing in the UK, featuring in high-profile gigs such as the Barbican's Wikipedia festival, and the 'Pint of Science' tour, which took him to universities in London, Oxford, and Cambridge. In 2023, Lieven was a keynote speaker with his A.I. show at the Love Tomorrow Campus, an initiative by Tomorrowland. The QI team are fans, having invited him three times to the 'No Such Thing As A Fish' podcast with the QI elves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64859cdb007bd907fa11ea30/d671d133-87b0-49a6-9266-b1585e48fbb1/Lieven+Scheire_AI_book.png Home Artificial Intelligence. It’s certainly become a buzzword. But what does it mean? How does it work, and what can it do? This book aims to give you a gentle and intuitive introduction to all of that. Yes, AI can do amazing things, but what digital cogs are spinning under the hood to make it work? Should we be fascinated, worried, or a bit of both? How will it reshape the world, and do we get a say in that? Artificial Intelligence is here to stay, so the best thing you can do is get to know it, and then decide whether, and how, you want to use it. The main aim of this book is to give you a beginner's introduction to the workings of neural networks and their seemingly magical capabilities. It also explores how you can work with AI yourself and how it could affect your personal life. GET YOUR COPY Amazon — Amazon UK — Bol.com — Webshop Lieven
