AI capabilities open phenomenal potentials. How to demystify AI, And how should leaders have to appropriate it in a reasoned and pragmatic way ? During a day orchestrated by Walter France and dedicated to AI, tracks have been opened to organize the articulation between humans and AI.
We have all entered the world of science fiction. AI's abilities already exceed us in several areas. To tame it, We must first understand the issues that are currently playing, then be aware that there is no choice but to train and use it for, finally, develop a strategy specific to each company in order to identify possible complementarities and optimize them. The capacities of artificial intelligence develop exponentially and much faster than expected. Investments are colossal. Google, Facebook and the others invest dozens of billions of dollars to preserve and strengthen their position of leaders. AI has an impact on all areas of our society. She will revolutionize the world of work, by removing certain trades and by creating others. She will challenge our ability to discern, Among others against Fake News. For businesses, The issues are not only organizational, but strategic. How to integrate AI ? As to train to follow these developments ?
What complementarity to build between AI and Human ?
Three examples give to think. The F16 fighter plane is particularly complicated to pilot. In a simulation, The F16 piloted by AI easily won the victory over those piloted by humans. Elon Musk's Neuralink Project, which consists in introducing an implant into the human brain, may ultimately lead to an "augmented man" by allowing his brain to interact with AI. In the medical field, An experience revealed that AI was more efficient alone than in complementarity with doctors. On the other hand, A study by Harvard, mentioned by Dimitri Kassubeck, CEO de Moby Analytics *, has shown that using AI can reduce performance on complex tasks in consulting. According to him, This problem often comes from a lack of perspective and critical thinking in less experienced consultants, who are therefore difficult to take full advantage of AI. More experienced professionals, thanks to their expertise, use AI better and make a big profit. for example, In computer science, experienced developers who use AI can improve their performance by more than 30 %. These observations obviously demonstrate that finding the most relevant complementarity between humans and AI has become a current and major challenge for all companies.
More than lasuperinformation,a strategic element
AI will revolutionize the world of work, But for many companies, The prospects are still vague. For certain trades, The fight is lost in advance. A machine controlled by AI that washes tiles will always be more efficient than a human, thanks to its speed, its precision and also ... because AI does not take leave, is never sick and has no claim ! Business leaders who can get productivity gains by replacing an employee with a machine will not hesitate for a second. As with any investment, It will be a question of building a business model to appreciate the return on investment. The strategic questions that will be asked will be : Where do the cursor, in terms of investment, productivity, positioning against competitors, even "ethics" (For example, What percentage of jobs are you ready to delete ?) ? This revolution leading to completely new societal questions, among other things on the future of certain employees and on the way of training young generations in critical thinking.
Le chief cognitive officer, future business strong man
According to some experts, in companies, The Cognitive Officer chief will become crucial. The manager who will understand, will analyze and define the means to exploit AI will merge the functions of human resources director (HR) and information systems director (DSI). The real issue is to study what is the best complementarity between human and AI, And what is the right adaptation rate, given the fact that, already, AI's abilities are changing at an exponential speed. Nowadays, no one really has any idea of all the new professions that will appear. One thing is certain : It is vital for companies to get on the AI train. For some, It will be the TGV, For others the TER, But staying at the quay means being doomed to disappear sooner or later. Car, in the same sector of activity, There will always be entrepreneurs who will launch faster and better than others.
The different types of IA tools
Generative AI means that it can "generate" text content, image, audio or video. For Dimitri Kassubeck, There are four main categories of AI. Aid-Generalists, type ChatGPT ou Mistral (French), which makes it possible to obtain answers to any type of question in a few seconds. Specialized assistants, which are specifically developed applications to meet specific business needs. This is called rag, pour retrieval augmented generation (generation increased by research). AI we provide specialized information databases in this or that sector. Agents, who are capable of performing tasks independently, type Claude. Productivity IA tools, which allow for example to automate repetitive tasks, to generate meeting reports, etc.
