Episode 24 — Felix Van de Maele

The Hidden Cost of AI Nobody Is Talking About

AI is getting smarter. But inside real companies, intelligence alone isn’t enough. If employees still have to double-check every response, correct mistakes and babysit AI agents, how much productivity are we actually gaining?

In this episode of Machine Dreams, we sit down with Felix Van de Maele, co-founder and CEO of Collibra, to unpack what he calls the “hallucination tax.”
