Leaders’ breakfast “AI : an ally or a risk for leaders?” in Strasbourg

Some forty managers from Strasbourg attended the breakfast organized by HLU, in partnership with Serue Ingénierie, on November 6.

“We need to know the difference between “data-driven AI”, which is fed by very large quantities of data (only data, but no know-how), and “knowledge-based AI”, AI developed on specific business know-how (much less resource-intensive – employs models and reasoning),” explained Helene Le Teno, President of Heart Leadership University.

Sacha Goepp, co-founder and co-director of Plus que pro, emphasized the importance of the executive’s responsibility in choosing the uses of AI: “We’re experimenting… and the executive’s courage and intuition are needed more than ever!”

“For me, there is no such thing as Artificial Intelligence; only humans are endowed with intelligence. My 8-year-old daughter sees a cat just once to be able to recognize it, whereas an AI needs to see it 100,000 times” noted Alina Holcroft, CEO of ETHIQAIS.

Stéphanie Grotzinger, vice-president of the CJD Strasbourg, reminded participants of the need to secure employee control and access to databases and open-access tools.

A rich and constructive exchange of views to help managers make the right use of artificial intelligence without losing the intelligence of the heart: intuition, courage and empathy!
