Oui, mais je LLM !
L’IA générative nous joue des tours, en manipulant notre perception de la vérité en tentant de devenir notre confident et en créant une relation de dépendance. Mais, on peut aussi à notre tour l’utiliser pour extraire des informations privilégiées mal sécurisées, en utilisant des tactiques adaptées de l’ingénierie sociale.
Le manque d’expérience autour de cette technologie et l’empressement à en mettre partout expose à de nouveaux risques.
Je te présente un survol des concepts de base en cybersécurité revisités pour l’IA générative, différents risques que posent ces algorithmes et différents conseils de prévention pour bien les intégrer dans nos systèmes informatiques et notre pratique professionnelle.

Beyond mere automation: A techno-functional framework for reimagining gen-AI in supply chain operations
As Generative AI (Gen-AI) continues to evolve rapidly, its potential to transform supply chain operations remains largely unexplored. Narrowing in on retail supply chain, this paper presents a taxonomy diagram that categorizes trends in Gen-AI adoption across various functions thereby mapping current Gen-AI capabilities and identifying immediate opportunities and potential challenges. We identify several key patterns in Gen-AI integration, including the automation of routine cognitive tasks, and enhancement of human decision-making capabilities. We posit that while Gen-AI shows immense promise in improving supply chain efficiency and resilience, successful implementation requires careful consideration of existing workflows, user capabilities, and organizational readiness. Finally, we present a cohesive vision for scaling Gen-AI in Supply Chain operations. Ultimately, this position paper provides insights for both practitioners looking to implement Gen-AI solutions and researchers exploring the future of AI in and for supply chain management.

Pre-conference workshop: Université de l’Alberta Conférence Annuelle
We were pleased to sponsor the 2025 Campus St Jean Annual Conference of the University of Alberta. Two Aula Fellows were present, and offered a workshop for faculty. The event was well attended. As Fellows, we were happy to receive feedback that the workshop empowered faculty to continue conversations on the complexities of AI in society and at the University, outside the conference and into their fields of work. Some of the attendees have since joined us as Fellows.

United Nations Commission on the creation of a Scientific Panel on AI
Presenting to the UN Committee on the formation of a Scientific Advisory Panel on AI. We also seconded calls by other presenters to ask the committee to move future convenings out of New York, so as to make it possible for delegates to attend from more countries, given the historical and current circumstances in the United States. Post: Consultation on the governance of the UN’s Scientific Advisory Panel on AI. Post on LinkedIn.
