As part of our next edition of PhD Reflect & Connect on November 27, 2025 the doctoral schools of UHasselt are hosting a keynote by Inti De Ceukelaire, a Belgian ethical hacker and cybercrime investigator, on the topic of 'Artifhacking Intelligence'.

Do you think AI systems are unbreakable? Think again. In this eye-opening session, Inti will take you behind the scenes and show you exactly how anyone can hack AI. Through live, self-crafted demos, you’ll learn how to beat the (artificial) odds, anticipate AI behaviour and subtly influence outcomes in your favour. 

This hands-on experience not only teaches you how to ethically manipulate AI algorithms, but also how to detect and defend against such tactics in the real world. Blending cutting-edge technology with practical psychology, this session offers valuable insights for professionals across IT, HR, marketing and business leadership. Moreover it is truly fascinating for anyone curious about the power and pitfalls of artificial intelligence. Secure your spot and prepare to be amazed!

The fact that this keynote is part of PhD Reflect & Connect has two implications:
(1) There will be a reception afterwards!
(2) Attending the lecture cannot be acknowledged in fulfilment of the doctoral school requirements. This is a general agreement between doctoral schools.
