We continue our Lunch at the Circle theme of artificial intelligence with a very different angle on the subject on December 2:
Is AI a threat or a promise?
Can AI replace/mimic a real person? A true and real example – with Maxime Girardeau.
Next L@C on December 2.
Some people worry that artificial intelligence will replace people and make us superfluous. Mass unemployment, if not the end of the world. Other people think that AI has the potential to find a cure for cancer and perhaps avoid a new nuclear war.
What will it be? Can artificial intelligence replace people? Can it mimic personalities?
As it develops, what will the consequences be for people, society and business?
Maxime Girardeau is a French author and consultant who explores these issues in an incredibly real way in his latest novel “Je te mens”. One of the personalities in the book is generated by ChatGPT, not a fictional ChatGPT but a very real one. In other words, the book is written by two “authors”, Maxime Girardeau and ChatGPT. One of the book’s main characters, “Loïe”, is, literally, the output from ChatGPT.
Who is really the author of the book?
Is the story credible?
Maxime will share with us how this happened, how it worked, and his views on what implications this may have for real life and for business.
The presentation will be in French. A French language invitation will follow soon.
Maxime Girardeau:
- Just published his third book, a novel written using and exploring chatGPT as one of the characters
- VP of Cloud Centre Of Excellence for Southern Central Europe at Capgemini
- Maxime Girardeau on LinkedIn
- Maxime’s books on Amazon
This L@C event will be an exploration of how generative AI (genAI) became a character in his recent book and how important education and training will be for the future AI transformation.
Maxime will give a short presentation of his book, “Je te mens” to explain the exploratory nature of this project, which is on the borderline between creative and technological exploration.
He will share his conviction about how important the anthropomorphic aspect of genAI is and how it will profoundly shake up organisations, change our ways of working and require new skill sets.
Maxime will also share what he believes to be the core of AI transformation for companies over the next 10 to 15 years. Just as digital technology has profoundly transformed companies, AI will force them to design, develop and protect their “global corpus”. This means, not just their data, but also their processes, know-how, organisation etc.
To conclude, we will discuss the importance of education, training and the ethics underlying this whole transformation. However powerful it may be, genAI and tomorrow’s multimodal AI will also be a potentially dangerous depersonalisation tool for human organisations.
Are you worried about the potentially devastating consequences of AI? Or do you see it as a great tool for making societal, scientific and economic progress? In either case, this is an event for you.
