C.E.D.I.A Conference #2: Discover the prospects of AI with renowned speakers

Who are you?

I'm Yann Ferguson, a sociologist at Inria. For the past 10 years, I've been studying the challenges of integrating artificial intelligence systems into professions, activities and organizations. I'm the scientific director of LaborIA, a research-action program launched 3 years ago by the French Ministry of Labor, Health and Solidarity and Inria, to assess changes in working conditions and skills.

What is the subject of your talk?

My talk will focus on the challenges of integrating AI into the workplace, highlighting the "unexpected progress of AI": while major transformations were initially sensed on routine tasks and the least skilled professions, it now seems that the most skilled professions and non-repetitive high-level cognitive tasks are the most concerned. And generative AI is moving in this direction.

What will your talk bring to our students?

Students will hear an analysis based on the most recent work on the subject. This will give them a better grasp of issues that are already major today, and will be even more so tomorrow, and about which we can read and hear everything and its opposite in the media.

Would you like to introduce yourself?

My name is Nathan Bonnet, I'm 27 years old and I created PolymnIA, the first public speaking and correction artificial intelligence. I'm also the manager of the first AI incubator in Paris.

What is the subject of your talk?

The subject of my talk is "how to grasp AI, create businesses out of it, and integrate it into companies and public institutions". The students are going to be able to project themselves and imagine how they can use AI to create very simple applications. I'm going to give them a few tips on how to easily create projects using open source generative AI.

What will your talk bring to our students?

I'll be giving them a little advice on June 3rd!
