💡 Reflecting on milestones like Deep Blue's victory over Garry Kasparov and the rise of empathetic and intelligent AI, Vincent highlighted how #AI has transformed our world. He shared compelling insights on how AI is making people work faster, smarter, and more innovatively. At Artefact, AI has helped software engineers ship code 25% faster and elevated employees' performance to top-tier levels.
As AI continues to evolve, Vincent emphasized the importance of strong #datafoundations, extensive training, and the cultural significance of #trust and transparency. 🤝 He proudly announced Artefact’s collaboration with Mistral AI, supported by France 2030, to produce open-source models.
Vincent's message was clear: the future of AI is about adoption and creating a true complementarity between humans and machines. As we celebrate Artefact's 10th anniversary, we look forward to tackling the challenges ahead and driving innovation together. ✨
The story of Artefact began 10 years ago with the mission of transforming business and creating value through data and #artificialintelligence. #Artefact became one of the rare pure-player data companies to reconcile technology and business units, breaking down silos by creating multidisciplinary teams. Success came quickly: the company, which employed 200 people in 2017, rapidly expanded internationally. 🌐 After establishing a strong presence in Europe and China, Artefact opened offices in the Middle East and Africa regions, South and North Americas, and most recently India, where it now employs more than 1,500 people.
Hi everyone and welcome to Adopt I. When I was 12, my dream was to become a chess master. And every day I was playing against my computer. On every day I was losing against my computer. I remember my father used to say to me that I should keep on playing as in chess at the end, AI always loses against human. But the same year I witnessed a historical victory. This is the same year that Garry Kasparov, who was the biggest champion back in the time, was defeated by IBM Deep Blue. By a score of three to two. And this ended up my last hopes. Since then, many times over the last 10 year, I witnessed AI pushing human limits away, beyond expectation. First, when I was a student at school, I studied philosophy and studying philosophy, I was told that only humans can use words. I believe today we need to reconsider this. Then I was also told that only humans can share emotions and feelings, but studies have actually shown and proven that today AI shows more empathy than humans when listening to sick people at the hospital. Even the ability to make complex reasoning is being questioned today, as AI is capable to pass very advanced mathematical exams today. New frontiers are being set every month, sometimes every week, and I believe this is just the beginning, as past models are used to contribute to the next research. When we created Artefact with Guillaume and Philippe 10 years ago, we used to define a lot to our client what AI was. Yet let me tell you, this is not the case anymore. AI has spread faster than any other technology in the world, and it's today used by two companies out of three in the world. What we see is amazing. People work faster. At Artefact, when we deployed AI to our software engineering team, we actually found that they were shipping code 25% faster. People are also smarter. What we learn is that they can focus more on value added tasks, as the other are automated. They learn faster. We also found out that AI elevates the average level of employees to the equivalent of the top performer. And last, people innovate more. The time to build a POC has fallen from three months to five weeks, and as a consequence, we sometimes see some of our clients studying at the same time hundreds of use cases in parallel. We believe this is only the beginning and probably the most impact is ahead of us. Why? Today, AI is mostly used bottom up, to increase the productivity of individual people by adding technology on top of their existing tasks. The next step, we think, will be to collectively reshape how people work together and to rethink the processes end-to-end. But 18 months from now, when ChatGPT went out, we thought deploying AI was something quite easy. And the video we saw online and the public demonstration were super impressive. Well, we know now that deploying generative AI and AI at scale is not easy. Only one company out of 10 actually succeeds in it. There's some reason that can explain that. But the most reason is that deploying AI is not buying. You cannot buy AI, you need to work. Generative AI and foundational AI needs a lot of work. First upstream. Without data, no AI. Even the best algorithm in the world plug into the wrong data set, will show perfectly something which is wrong. AI has put a spotlight on the need for very solid data foundations. Second downstream, and this is the thematic of the day. AI is about people. There is an urgency to train people. Only one person out of four exposed to AI has actually been trained. And this is a solid question we need to solve together regarding the power of these tools. Many questions still remain regarding AI, how we work together, how we build the trust and how we can trust what shows the algorithm, how we protect intellectual property, how we build system that is also protective toward environment and sustainable. But I believe we have everything we need to solve this as an ecosystem. We need to walk the talk, and the best way to solve this question is to experiment and try. I must say today I'm very proud to be French and European because I believe something is happening. First. We have one of the best fundamental research in the world that made possible companies like Mistral AI or H, are super which we are proud of today. Second, we receive an outstanding support from France and Europe and I'm very proud today to announce that Artefact Research Center has received the support from France 2030 and will together with Mistral AI publish open source models. Last, in a world where adoption is everything, I believe our culture of trust and transparency is a game changer. While I'm traveling to the US or to Middle East, I see more and more people looking towards European company because they trust European companies for the way they will protect their data, their assets, and their IP. I don't know what AI will be in three months, in six months, in one year. What I know is that adoption for AI will be everything. We are now at a pivotal point. If these technologies are not adopted correctly, they won't be used and even the best technology in the world will be completely useless if it's not adopted. Companies that embark into this journey now, will move at lightspeed and will create competitive advantage forever. Let's be optimistic and let's build together the future of AI, in a world where human and machine complement each other and bring the best out of these two. Chess has not disappeared. Chess has only become stronger, and the best competition in the world today are the one where humans and machines team up. I would like to thank all and every one of you who came this morning. CEOs, member of executive committees, research team, search team, startup technology, thank you all for being with us this morning. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, Artefact is already a success. I would like to pay a huge tribute to our 1500 colleagues in 25 countries. Without them, nothing would be possible. I would also like to thank all of our clients. We would never have been here without you, many of our clients are in the room today, and even the best startup in the world is nothing without his client. Thank you, everyone, and let's adopt AI together. Thank you.
