  Episode #9

  How an AI contract can cost your business a $2M deal | Corporate Lawyer Ruben Schoenmaekers explains

  Mar 27, 20261h 20mS2

  <p>What happens when founders start using AI to manage legal decisions and something goes wrong? In Episode 9 of LuminaTalks, I sat down with startup lawyer Ruben Schoonmakers. We discussed how founders are actually using AI right now, what's working, and where things quietly go sideways. From early-stage founders copy-pasting contracts and patching them with AI tools, to scaleups trying to close million-dollar deals without the right legal infrastructure in place. Ruben's take? AI can flag the risk. It can't own it. If you're building a company, investing in one, or just trying to understand how AI is reshaping business...

  War is the Best Driver for Technological Advancements | Raf Lefever

  Mar 13, 20261h 11mS2

  <p>Is AGI the new Manhattan Project? The nuclear race was won with secrecy and science. But the AI race is going to be won with chips, energy, water, and cables. Everyone talks about AI like it's a software problem. Build a better model, win the race. But the people actually shaping the future know the real battle is happening in a completely different place, in the physical infrastructure that powers intelligence. Who controls the compute? Who controls the electricity? Who controls the data centres? That's what we get into this week. Raf and I cover a lot of ground...

  Trump does not want a NUCLEAR BOMB to wipe Europe, He needs Azure & AWS | Raf Lefever Explains WHY

  Feb 27, 20261h 7mS2

  <p>"We have to become independent from the United States. We are at war." In this very special episode I sat down with Raf Lefever and honestly, some of the stuff we talked about here kept me up at night thinking about it. So basically, we're diving into this whole mess about how Europe needs to break free from American tech companies, and Raf drops this bomb about how we're literally living under tech feudalism right now. Like, he compared cloud providers to drug dealers - which sounds crazy until you actually think about it and realize he's probably right...

  AI Safety Expert: When AI Understands You Better Than You Realise | Dr. Marta Bieńkiewicz

  Feb 17, 20261h 25mS2

  <p>In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marta Bieńkiewicz — neuroscientist, strategist, and one of the clearest voices in EU AI policy. We explore the ethics, tech and governance of AI agents, from VR neuro-rehab to delegation, identity, and whether agents can (or should) act on our behalf. We are entering the era of agentic AI: autonomous systems that don’t just execute instructions but represent you in decisions, negotiations, and even relationships. ✔️ Why “delegation” to AI often turns into abdication — and how that breaks systems of responsibility ✔️ How multi-agent AI ecosystems (like OpenAI’s hide-and-seek experiment) are evolving behaviors th...

  Only 0.3% Founders will Reach €10M in Revenue | Jürgen Ingels Explains Why

  Feb 16, 20261h 15mS2

  <p>Most founders believe startups fail because they run out of money. Experienced investors know that’s rarely the real reason. In this episode of LuminaTalks, I sat down with Jürgen Ingels, investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Supernova, one of Europe’s leading tech events. We discuss how companies actually scale, why focus matters more than funding, and how technology is quietly reshaping the way investors make decisions. Modern startups are being built with smaller teams, higher profitability, and radically different operating models. Yet Europe is falling behind in tech adoption, and how automation and AI are already influencing inves...
