🎉 Celebrating Robotics Innovation and Collaboration at the 1st euROBIN Coopetition! 🤖   After four days of groundbreaking robotics challenges at the Centre des Congrès Prouvé in Nancy, France, the first-ever euROBIN Coopetition has reached its conclusion! This EU-funded Network of Excellence has brought together leading robotics teams from across Europe to showcase advanced solutions and embrace a unique concept of cooperative competition.   In this new competition model, teams are rewarded not only for their own achievements but also for the reuse and impact of their shared modules via the EuroCore platform. This approach highlights the importance of collaboration and module transferability, paving the way for more scalable and versatile robotic technologies.   From robotic manufacturing for a circular economy to personal robots enhancing quality of life and outdoor robots for sustainable communities, the solutions presented address critical robotics domains and push the boundaries of innovation.   👏 Congratulations to the participants and the euROBIN team for creating such an inspiring and forward-thinking event. The insights and outcomes from this coopetition will play a key role in advancing robotics research and fostering a more unified robotics community.   💡 Keep an eye on euROBIN for updates, lessons learned, and future opportunities to engage with this remarkable initiative!   #AI #Robotics #Innovation #Collaboration #euROBIN #EuroCore #Coopetition

THE TECHNO MERCHANTS OF SPIRITUALITY.   A BOOK : GRÉGORY AIMAR  "L'Évangile selon Big Tech - Manifeste pour une intelligence spirituelle à l'heure de l'intelligence artificielle" SUMMARY: AI is on everyone's lips, tech captains are making sensational announcements and ethics committees are multiplying. All are calling for "responsible" technology. We fear the advent of autonomous weapons, mass surveillance, cyberattacks, the proliferation of fake news, the obsolescence of human workers. But, curiously, no mention is made of the risks of spiritual counterfeiting. However, metaphysical questions are indeed part of the motivations of AI thinkers and transhumanist cults already exist. Is technology the future of religion? What consequences could belief in an algorithmic divinity have for humanity? Will the machine soon gain a soul thanks to this technological revolution, or is it man who risks losing his? EXCERPT INTERVIEW (TRANSLATED) "Over the course of my research, I have noticed that this dimension is not the preserve of a fanatical and marginal minority in the sector, but that on the contrary it has been permeating the entire industry for decades. This is what I demonstrate in my latest essay, The Gospel According to Big Tech, through its history and the statements of its leaders, the names and logos chosen by many companies, and the initiatives taken by some of them to literally create a “digital afterlife”. TES.: We believe we understand from reading you that the promoters of this movement are positioning themselves directly in the domain of the “spiritual”. In particular with many AI projects developed around the theme of death. Why does this seem worrying to you? G.A.: The explosion of artificial intelligence in 2022, with ChatGPT, has only confirmed my initial intuition, namely that there is a real desire among entrepreneurs in the sector to gradually invade the field of spiritual beliefs. One of the most flagrant illustrations of this phenomenon is the proliferation of applications offering the services of "deadbots" or "avatars of the deceased". This software, based on generative AI, proposes to copy the personality of our deceased loved ones based on their memories or the traces they may have left on the internet, in order to "digitally resurrect" them, in a way. The first problem is that the promoters of these technologies play on ambiguity by suggesting that an avatar is the virtual continuation of a deceased person, when it is only a crude copy devoid of life and consciousness. ".. THE INSINCERITY OF THIEL AND CO "I think that Peter Thiel, like many technophile libertarians, is trying to confuse the issue by being falsely critical, while pushing as much as possible for AI to develop in all sectors of human activity" .

New paper from myself and Anne Laure Thibaud (Thieullent) on the topic of how the rise of operational AI is going to fundamentally alter the way that organizations need to look at data. Key points: 1) GenAI (and Agentic) will enable digital employees at operational speeds 2) Digital Employees need data that reflects the operational reality 3) You need to establish a digital operating model 4) You'll need to plan for people managing AI as well as people 5) The Business needs to take control of its digital reality When we started writing this paper it felt like this world was still a while away, since then we've had an explosion in applications embedding GenAI and Agentic solutions. So now it more feels like this is how you need to plan for 2025 rather than a vision for the medium term.

Excited to dive into the fascinating topic of Digital Twins in Healthcare with a panel of experts and Sébastien Giraudier, PhD. As the saying goes: "Put three economists in a room, and you'll get four opinions." I hope we can bring clarity and converge on a singular understanding of what a Digital Twin truly is—not just through its various use cases, but by focusing on its core digital essence. Looking forward to the discussion and the insights to come and to possibly meet you there. Book your agenda :)

AI players arouse mistrust among the general public. The majority of Americans believe that companies specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) prioritize profits over security and ethics. According to a study from the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, California, more than half of Americans believe that companies developing AI technologies are not ethical. And almost 90% of them would be in favor of stronger regulation. A strong sign, in a country that is rather resistant to administrative constraints. Despite this phase of strong adversity, the AI ​​sector could reverse the trend and restore its image. Markkula's survey shows that a large proportion of those questioned “like” AI: 48% believe that these technologies currently have a positive impact on their lives, and 45% are “very enthusiastic” or “rather enthusiastic” about the potential of AI for the future. Experts are also optimistic. But only after awareness and a radical change among players in the sector. No more Ethics-washing in AI! Is that conceivable?

SIDO Lyon - IoT, IA, Robotique & XR Lyon Cyber Show 2024 featured a plenary session "Numérique responsable : de l'importance de garder la "tech" froide." 🌍 With the environmental impact of digital technology under the microscope, it’s clear that companies are on the frontlines of pushing for a greener, more responsible digital future. But should we leave this to the IT department? Not a chance! Key Takeaways: 📈 Strategic Alignment: Digital responsibility isn’t just an IT issue; it’s a governance challenge. Boards, CEOs, and sustainability directors need to lead the charge. 🤝 Cross-Department Collaboration: Making tech eco-friendly requires everyone on board—from marketing to HR. 🛡️ Risk Management: It’s about more than just compliance; it’s about transforming corporate culture towards sustainability. Tips for Greener Digital Governance: 🌟 Digital Steering Committee: Assemble a diverse team to oversee responsible digital initiatives. 📚 Invest in Eco-Literacy: Educate all employees on the environmental impact of their digital actions. 📝 Set Green Policies: Implement and enforce policies for sustainable tech use and innovation. Huge thanks to the panelists Anne-Sophie BELLAICHE (Editor-in-Chief, L'Usine Nouvelle), Emeline Baume de Brosses (Vice President, Métropole de Lyon), Antoine Wattinne (Director of Public Affairs and CSR, Cegid), Marine Brogli (CEO, DPO Consulting and Board Member, numeum) 🌿 Gillo Alain Malpart (President & Co-founder, Mavana.earth) Keeping tech cool and green is a collective effort, and today’s session highlighted the crucial role of governance in driving this change. 🌐 #LyonCyberShow2024 #TechGovernance #DigitalTransformation #GreenTech

#generativeAi after the buzz, time to reflect on key factors of success to deploy #GenAI tools in large companies : where does it have the most impact, who will be the main users, how to monitor infra and carbon costs. Thanks Matthieu OLIVIER, La Poste Groupe and Denis Coutrot, Getlink for sharing your experience in this journey! Thanks also to datacraft for coorganizing this event and to people attending : very relevant questions on how to comply with regulatory requirements, sovereignty, multiple LLMs and the change coming from SLLMs and open source algorithms but also on #ROI and how to measure impact! Congrats Pierre Biousse ! #AI Ekimetrics
