Artificial Intelligence

Putting AI at the service of humanity and the biosphere

PDF sheet :↓ FR↓ EN

The current debate around AI oscillates between uncritical adoption and widespread fear. Among teams working on social and ecological transition, AI often meets outright rejection. This conference opens a third path: the ethical use of AI at the service of humanity and the biosphere, to help us address some of their greatest challenges.

At a time when the planetary limits trap is closing and humanity must commit to its transition, the colossal impact of digital technology and artificial intelligence on energy consumption is a pressing question. Will our species learn to master its own excess? What might reverse this trend and put these innovations at the service of humanity and the Biosphere?

To answer these questions and understand the deep drivers of these innovations, we will undertake a great journey through space and time. It will take us from the emergence of life to the rise of culture and the first computers, through to the secrets of human evolution, in order to formulate a radical proposition that sheds light on our future and traces a different path in our relationship with technology. The goal is to liberate teams' imagination about what these tools could genuinely contribute, when used with care and placed at the service of something greater than ourselves.

A mathematician, Jean-Pierre Goux has followed and accompanied the evolution of artificial intelligence for thirty years.

  • A precise assessment of AI's weight on energy consumption and the Biosphere
  • A long historical perspective that places current AI developments in the context of the evolution of matter and the biosphere
  • The concepts needed for an informed use of these technologies
  • A liberation of imagination: how AI could be used to overcome some of humanity's greatest challenges
  • A foundation for rethinking AI integration within the organization's ecological strategy

30 to 60 minutes, depending on your needs and context.

All-company events, executive committees, teams questioning how to integrate AI while preserving the future of humanity and the planet.
