🎤 Special Conference: "Generative AI: Cognitive Revolution or Technological Mirage?"

Generative AI, admired by some and feared by others, sparks fascination and division. It lies at the intersection of promises for optimization and fears of dehumanization, leading to intense debates often clouded by misunderstandings regarding its constantly evolving capabilities. Four major tensions arise at the heart of these controversies:

▶ Should society fear the gradual replacement of humans in complex tasks, or should generative AI be seen as a powerful tool for enhancing work and unlocking human potential?

▶ Can generative AI serve as a reliable and universal synthesis of knowledge, or is there a risk of perpetuating biases and misinformation stemming from its creators and training data, thereby worsening societal divides?

▶ Is it possible to create transparent and trustworthy generative AI, or are we facing an opaque chain of unaccountable actors unable to address the usage and impact of their creations?

▶ Is generative AI a driver of massive transformation for advanced economies, or merely a passing trend with marginal benefits for key sectors of global competitiveness?

To explore these crucial issues, notable speakers will be present:

🎤 Nicolas Curien, Founding Member of the Academy of Technologies and author of the report “Generative AI and Misinformation”

🎤 Laurent Frisch, Head of Digital and Innovation at Radio France

🎤 Laurence Devillers, Professor and French researcher, specialist in human-machine interactions, author
