Technology for people, not the other way around.

We strengthen social initiatives through thoughtful use of technology.

Nu de ontwikkeling van Artificiële Intelligentie zoveel is versneld, stelt iedereen zich de vraag: Hoe zal de wereld er over 10 jaar uitzien?

Technologie an sich is goed noch slecht, maar het is ook niet neutraal.

Als wij één ding zouden kunnen bereiken in de toekomst, dan is het dat sociale en maatschappelijke initiatieven niet achterblijven in het verleden, maar juist versterkt worden door technologie.

Wij zetten ons in voor een wereld waarin technologie voor mensen wordt gemaakt, en niet andersom. We zetten ons in voor een wereld waarin de mens centraal staat. We zetten ons in voor sociale technologie.

SocialTechnologyLab

We are STL, and we do three things: we build, we share knowledge, and we experiment.

We build bleeding-edge AI

We have years of experience in research-driven deep learning and genAI. We set up data pipelines and know how to build AI models that are state-of-the-art in their domain.

We share our knowledge

For us, one thing is clear: if you want to make decisions about AI, you need fundamental knowledge about what it actually entails. We help organizations with their AI policy: we help them make the right choices by asking the right questions.

We experiment the future

Inspiration for a new world comes from trying out stuff. This is why we founded our labs. Each lab is a hotbed of creativity and innovation, where we independently develop products that advance society.

At Beyond Weather, we have been very happy working with the people from STL for more than 2 years. It’s rare to find people so highly skilled in complex AI/ML theory, fun to work with, having the right level of helicopter overview ánd being able to develop professional software. At STL, they have it all!

We couldn’t have asked for a better co-organiser for our event than Social Technology Lab. Their organizational skills, up-to-date AI knowledge, and engaging facilitation resulted in a great event that our team enjoyed thoroughly. We especially valued their charismatic presence and ability to dissect technical concepts in an accessible manner.

The training that Social Technology Lab prepared for us was one of the most thorough, profound, and inspiring moments of knowledge transfer I've ever experienced. We left after eight hours with more energy than when we entered, our minds full of relevant concepts and artifacts that we can use when applying IAMA and creating an AI Governance plan. Hats off!

Khaled’s keynote captivated the audience from start to finish, balancing technical depth with real-world applications. He has the ability to lecture on key AI topics with a very practical and enlightening method, neutralizing the complexity of it.
