What can I learn?
Long-running Dutch public-broadcaster documentary series with episodes including De prijs van AI and Het algoritme de baas? — cinematic, narrative-driven, and widely watched in NL. Includes an AI-driven archive search across 500+ episodes.
Core insight
Big ideas about technology become accessible when they are told through human stories — and Tegenlicht does this better than almost any other Dutch source.
How to use it in daily work
High-quality background viewing for specific topics; also usable as a starting point for client conversations ('did you see that Tegenlicht?').
- Het algoritme de baas? is a natural conversation-starter with clients who are sceptical about algorithm concerns — a well-made TV documentary lands differently than a fact-sheet.
