Senior🎓
Top SchoolWout Schellaert is a technology specialist and AI evaluator with 11 years of experience bridging research, consultancy and public policy from Ghent, Belgium. He has advised high-profile tech firms (including OpenAI and Samsung) and policy bodies such as the OECD and European Commission’s Joint Research Center, and now evaluates General-Purpose AI at the European Commission’s AI Office. His background blends hands-on software and ML work—from semantic web and computer vision projects to launching a decentralized civic search prototype—with doctoral research framing AI evaluation as a prediction problem. Comfortable switching between technical delivery and policy translation, he notably prefers engaging with people over polishing LinkedIn bios and maintains a detailed personal site at schellaert.org.
