TABLE RONDE : IA dans l’industrie : Accélérer sans dérailler
jeudi 1 octobre 2026 11:30 à 12:15 | Salle de conférence : Leasétic Camp
Aujourd'hui, l'industrie n'a plus le choix : elle doit intégrer l'IA pour rester compétitive, pour optimiser sa production, pour réduire son empreinte carbone ou inventer les produits de demain. Autrement dit, il faut accélérer. Mais l’industrie, c’est aussi la sécurité, la réglementation, la protection de la propriété intellectuelle et la robustesse. Pas question de mettre une IA "boîte noire" au cœur d'une chaîne de montage sans filet de sécurité. L'enjeu est donc colossal : il faut accélérer... sans dérailler.
Avec la participation de : David CHASSAN (OUTSCALE, Dassault Systèmes) | Maxime CLAISSE (Sopra Steria) | Stéphane VETTER (Aumovio) | Nicolas TROUILLET (G&T)
