Public Conference

WHY IA WILL NEVER BEAT HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

The intelligent machine control could surpass human intellect, myth or reality ?

In fact, artificial intelligence won’t replace human beings since the decision factors imply emotional intelligence that the intelligent machine will not be able to reproduce.

Still, what’s the potential of artificial intelligence combined with human intelligence ?

Highlight of the year, this conference will take place on November, 21 from 4 :00 pm, within the framework of the SophI.A Summit 2020 and lead by Rand Hindi, PhD in bio-informatics who founded the startup Snips, specialized in big data and specifically artificial intelligence.

POURQUOI L’INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE NE SERA JAMAIS HUMAINE

La crainte que la machine intelligente prenne le dessus sur l’homme, mythe ou réalité ?

L’Intelligence Artificielle ne pourra jamais remplacer l’homme car la prise de décisions nécessite une intelligence émotionnelle que la machine ne peut reproduire.

En revanche quel est le potentiel de combinaison du pouvoir d’intelligence logique de l’IA avec le pouvoir de l’intelligence émotionnelle humaine?

Nouveau temps fort de notre programmation d'automne, cette conférence, organisée le Samedi 21 Novembre dès 16h00 à l’occasion de la SophI.A Week 2020 sera présentée par Rand Hindi, entrepreneur en Intelligence Artificielle et en protection des données personnelles.

Élu innovateur de l’année de moins de 35 ans (TR35) par MIT Technology Review et l’un des 30 innovateurs de moins de 30 ans (“30 under 30”) par Forbes.

Membre du Conseil National du Numérique, Il a été choisi par le gouvernement Français pour diriger la partie “impact de l’IA sur l‘économie et l’emploi” dans la stratégie globale de la France sur l’Intelligence Artificielle.
