Every year, Placeco kicks off with a grand event that takes place at the Bordeaux Convention Center. This year, they decided to focus on AI and imagine a very realistic case of the societal impact of AI in companies. An employee is actually fired due to the use of AI tools that make their position obsolete. Placeco then envisions a fake trial, with lawyers from both sides, expert testimonies, and a final vote from the assembly to determine if the employee should be reinstated.

Far from a simplistic view, this event truly makes you think and taking a position remains uncomfortable. I had the pleasure of playing my own role as an “expert” in AI during this fake trial, highlighting the limitations and strengths of these tools that are sweeping through companies.

Special thanks to the friends at Décalez! who played key roles in this trial.
