What impeccable few days at this year's
RAISE Summit in Paris, Europe's largest AI conference, bringing together around 8,000 people from across the global AI ecosystem.
Thank you to
Guy-Laurent Arpino and
Andy Walter for an excellent discussion during From Enterprise Operator to AI Company Advisor, the executive session hosted by
Vintage Investment Partners. It was a valuable opportunity to explore how the role of technology leaders is evolving as AI moves from experimentation to delivering real enterprise value.
I also had the privilege of joining the panel From Chatbots to Co-Workers: Deploying Agentic AI at Scale, alongside
Matthieu Caillat from
AXA Group Operations,
Alice GUEHENNEC from
Sodexo,
Arti Garg from
AVEVA,
Kartik Sheth from
Deutsche Telekom and
Sylvie OUZIEL from
BlueBridge Ai. It was a rich discussion on what it really takes to move beyond pilots and embed AI responsibly, securely and at scale across the enterprise.
One thing that was extremely clear was every organisation is at a different stage of its AI journey, but many of the questions we're asking are remarkably similar. Where can AI create meaningful value? How do we scale responsibly? And most importantly, how do we bring our people with us?
Beyond the panel discussions, I was inspired by the energy of the start-up community and the innovators pushing the boundaries of what's possible. I particularly enjoyed hearing from
Scott Wu,
Cognition and seeing first-hand how AI agents and automation are rapidly evolving. The pace of innovation is extraordinary, but there was also a shared recognition that AI will only create lasting value if we apply it with purpose, responsibility and people at the centre.
This is something I keep coming back to at
The Adecco Group: AI transformation is fundamentally human-centred. Technology will continue to evolve, but lasting impact depends on how we build trust, strengthen AI literacy and give people the confidence to use AI responsibly, thoughtfully and with good judgement.
A huge thank you to the
RAISE Summit team for bringing together such an inspiring community, to my fellow panellists, and to everyone I had the opportunity to meet over the past few days. I left Paris with fresh perspectives, new connections and even greater conviction that the future of AI will be shaped not only by the technology we build, but by the choices we make about how we use it.
