THE AI INTERVIEW With this in mind, he calls for a fresh mindset:“ People need to think of new ways of doing things, leveraging AI to use less energy and use more green energy as well as optimise their operations. The time is now, the technology is ready. Think scale, think production, think deployment, think impact.”
Educating on the power of AI For Philippe, a great focus is on empowering businesses when it comes to AI through education. While he acknowledges the impressive developments in AI’ s capabilities, he stresses cautious and thorough understanding, rather than ploughing ahead with little-to-no thought.
“ Spend time understanding AI and going beyond the smoke and mirrors and fascination,” Philippe advises.“ Let’ s face it, it’ s very, very impressive what’ s happening now in the world of AI, but take enough time to understand what it does and what it does not do. It does probably much more than what you think it does.”
He also advocates for engagement across the ecosystem, encouraging industry leaders to meet start ups – as well as heavyweights like Schneider – to engage with“ technically-savvy people” and bring their own understanding into the mix, allowing companies to develop custom AI strategies tailored to their real-world challenges and opportunities.
