What challenges and opportunities for artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant promise: it is already at the heart of our personal and professional lives. In this conference, Marie-Aude Aufaure provides a clear overview of the concrete uses of AI in various sectors: industry, finance, health, public services.
- She presents the measurable benefits of AI: process automation, quality improvement, trend anticipation, and the creation of new services. But she also emphasizes the limits and precautions to take: dependency on data, biases, and the opacity of models. This intervention gives participants the keys to assess the AI maturity of their own organization. Marie-Aude Aufaure proposes a practical framework that allows asking the right questions to providers, identifying priority projects, and distinguishing truly suitable solutions.
· In conclusion, this conference invites participants to move beyond clichés to enter into a pragmatic approach to AI: neither fear nor fascination, but a balanced view of its risks and opportunities.
Towards responsible artificial intelligence
· At a time when algorithms influence the most sensitive decisions, the issue of ethics and accountability becomes crucial. This conference explores the principles of trustworthy AI: transparency, explainability, fairness, robustness, and compliance with regulations.
· Marie-Aude Aufaure presents ongoing European frameworks (AI Act, GDPR, Digital Services Act) and recommendations from international working groups. She illustrates her points with concrete examples of algorithmic bias and observed drift in various sectors.
· The goal is to equip leaders to integrate ethical safeguards from the design of their AI projects. The speaker offers a framework for ethical maturity and practical tools to assess, document, and govern AI systems.
· This intervention allows organizations to build a strategy where innovation and responsibility advance together, ensuring sustainable and accepted adoption of AI.
· Human resources are at the forefront of the AI revolution. This conference analyzes the impact of these technologies on jobs, skills, processes, and management styles.
· Marie-Aude Aufaure highlights the opportunities available: automation of repetitive tasks, decision support in recruitment, and personalization of training paths. But she also details the risks: loss of meaning, increased surveillance, and new discriminatory biases.
· Drawing on surveys conducted with the Hub France IA, she shares unprecedented data on employee perceptions and the conditions for successful adoption. She emphasizes the importance of continuous training and change management support.
· This conference provides HR directors and managers with a strategic and human vision: how to transform the HR function into a major player in innovation while preserving trust and the value of work.
Generative AI: Transforming Jobs and Organizations
· Generative models (ChatGPT, DALL·E, etc.) are disrupting practices across all sectors. Marie-Aude Aufaure decodes their functioning, usage, and concrete impacts on organizations.
· She illustrates how these tools accelerate the production of content, translation, prototyping, but also how they redefine roles and skills. She warns about the risks related to cognitive dependence and the quality of results.
· This conference offers a clear typology of jobs exposed to, transformed by, or enriched by generative AI. It addresses the challenges of governance, training, and adaptation of organizations.
· In conclusion, she invites a clear-sighted and proactive appropriation of generative AI: not to suffer it, but to make it a lever of innovation and competitiveness.
Digital sovereignty: taking back control of data and algorithms
· Facing the dominance of large global platforms, digital sovereignty is becoming a major strategic issue for businesses and states. This conference offers an illuminating look at the current dependencies and ways to address them.
· Marie-Aude Aufaure analyzes the risks associated with the concentration of data and infrastructures: loss of control, legal vulnerabilities, innovation asymmetries. She presents the European initiatives such as GAIA-X, the Data Governance Act, and the AI Act.
· She highlights the levers of action accessible to organizations: adoption of open standards, pooling of resources, development of local solutions, training of talents.
· This intervention calls for a collective mobilization to build a resilient digital ecosystem, respectful of our values and capable of real strategic autonomy.
