At the heart of the event, Maja Merz, Executive Education Manager, and Antoun Yaacoub, associate professor at aivancity and academic director of the MSc in Generative AI, served as speakers. Their presentations provided concrete insights into the advancements in generative AI, its operational applications, and the challenges associated with integrating language models into organizations.
Aivancity’s presence at the event was also highlighted by a visit from Anne Le Hénanff, Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence, who stopped by the booth to meet with the teams. This opportunity for discussion underscored the importance of dialogue among public, academic, and business stakeholders in supporting the ongoing transformations.
Throughout the trade show, the aivancity teams had the opportunity to speak with many entrepreneurs about the applications of AI, the opportunities it presents, and the responsibilities it entails. These discussions highlighted a growing need for cultural adaptation, training, and support to ensure that artificial intelligence becomes a useful, well-managed, and sustainable tool.
With 45,000 entrepreneurs in attendance, 600 speakers, 300 participating partners, and 250 conferences and workshops held over two days, this year’s event underscores the central role of artificial intelligence in today’s economic landscape.
