To ensure a smooth transition after the holidays, what could be more interesting than participating in a panel discussion on AI in a caring and citizen-oriented context, behind a few bales of hay.

I was invited on behalf of the regional AI research network (R3IA) and the Trustworthy AI Chair (Chaire Fondation Bordeaux Université).

Essential ingredients for trust, but ones that cannot (yet?) be put into algorithms!

This day was organized alongside the festivities in Agen (a great festive and musical moment, with beautiful encounters!).
