Practical feedback from KIABI on how an international brand has deployed AI in useful and human-centric ways. A pragmatic and operational method, designed around three key points: –a bottom-up approach, led by a network of AI ambassadors within the teams, –a strategy of small steps, focusing on quick wins with immediate impact, –adoption is accompanied by transversal and pragmatic governance.

AI requires reliable and sustainable energy to function at a large scale. At the same time, AI can be used to optimise energy production, distribution and consumption. This interdependence paves the way for industrial transformation driven by a shared goal: reducing carbon footprint and improving performance.

Interview by Pierre-Louis Bescond, Head of Data & Artificial Intelligence, RoquettenAgentic AI is a source of fascination with vast potential. However, to get the most value from it, companies will have to adapt and rise to a number of challenges.nApplications, organisation, strategy: Mick Levy shares advice on deploying agentic AI and achieving sustainable value from it.

This intervention will present the ARIANES project, which aims to structure a regional ecosystem of ultra precise brain imagery to improve the diagnosis and follow-up of neurological and psychiatric diseases. Combining advanced MRI data and AI, the project paves the way for identifying new biomarkers and more robust predictive models.

Quantum computing has become a tangible technology with growing relevance for AI, high-performance computing, and energy-efficient innovation. This presentation will introduce why quantum matters now, explain Pasqal's approach to neutral-atom quantum computing, and explore the emerging synergy between quantum and AI. Through concrete examples from the pharmaceutical, energy, and utilities sectors, the session will highlight how quantum-enhanced AI could help address complex industrial challenges — from molecular simulation to power-grid and supply-chain optimization.

Enterprise data science is going through a period of profound transformation. This is confirmed by five phenomena. 1) Generative AI is accelerating the demand for data science and paradoxically, traditional ML with it: Scikit-learn downloads have doubled in nine months, from 100M to 200M per month. 2) The explosion of options available: libraries, pretrained foundational models, agents, cloud or local. 3) The absence of shared standards is forcing companies to choose between rigid platforms and inhouse tools which become debt. 4) The gap between data scientists and professional sectors remains a structural bottleneck. 5) AI amplifies the risk of losing control: without systematic scientific rigour, data leakage, incorrect cross-validation and silent errors spread to production.nProbabl, a company founded by the creators of scikit-learn, has developed Skore and offers support for businesses to use AI in data science with confidence.

AI is dramatically transforming cybersecurity: multiplying the number of attacks, as well as tools for preventing them. This revolution requires us to build a new climate of digital trust, in which AI boosts experts without replacing them and where stakeholders help structure a reliable and sustainable ecosystem.

Transforming banking through AI.n2026 is a year of industrial challenges for generative and agentic AI. We have been using AI and even generative AI solutions for a long time now. At this point, it’s about seeking out the most complex value opportunities: high volumes of interaction with our employees and customers, as well as entirely redesigning key processes using digital, data and all forms of AI.
