Thomas believes AI only earns its place when people genuinely understand and trust it. A lecturer and researcher with the User Centered Experiences group at Odisee University College (part of the KU Leuven Association), he studies the synergy between AI and UX: how to make AI insightful, user-friendly and trustworthy — and how to validate that with real users. He also runs hands-on AI-prototyping workshops for companies and students, turning that research straight into practice.
