Sander Duivestein
Sander Duivestein is a researcher, author, and speaker on the impact of new technology on people, businesses, and society since 2005. In October 2021, he wrote the book Real Fake- Playing with reality in the era of ChatGPT, deepfakes, and the metaverse, which clearly illustrates that the development of artificial intelligence is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, personal computers, the internet, and mobile phones.
The way we are accustomed to doing things will be completely transformed by artificial intelligence. The way we work, learn, play, travel, receive healthcare, and communicate with each other will be revolutionized. Entire industries will reorient themselves around it. By the end of this decade, there will be only two types of companies: those using AI and those going out of business.
Sander works for VerkenningsInstituut Nieuwe Technologie (VINT) of Sogeti. He is a speaker, trendwatcher, internet entrepreneur, advisor, and columnist on the impact of digital technology on people, businesses, and society. He is also a highly sought-after guest in various radio and television programs.

In October 2021, the book Real Fake was released, co-authored by Sander Duivestein, Menno van Doorn, and Thijs Pepping. The rapid progression into the future, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, served as a backdrop for this publication. “Real Fake” delves into the intricacies of the new paradigms shaping our future, elucidating the profound impact these changes have on our economy and society.
