\ud83e\udde0 \u201cAI is not an end in itself. It is a powerful lever\u2026 provided the problem is well defined.\u201d<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f In this episode, Olivier Moisse, CEO of Riaktr<\/b><\/span>, shares a sharp perspective: AI only creates value when it is aligned with real needs and supported by solid data.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udccc Following Jean Van Wetter on data as a lever for action, Gr\u00e9gory Depasse on technological co-creation, and Danny Van Roijen on the European regulatory framework,<\/p>\n Olivier Moisse takes the reflection further:<\/p>\n How can we create AI that is truly useful?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \ud83d\udff0 For him, it all starts with a common mistake:<\/p>\n Many organizations launch AI projects without clearly defining the problem they aim to solve.<\/p>\n AI is often confused with ChatGPT, while its true value lies in targeted applications\u2014AI has existed for decades, and it is not about the hype, but about solving specific challenges.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd0d Where general-purpose models bring only marginal gains, specialized AI<\/b><\/span>, embedded in sectors like telecommunications or industry, creates real performance levers.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udce1 Example: optimizing 5G technologies<\/b><\/span> already relies heavily on such applied AI.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcca But none of this works without reliable data<\/b><\/span>. Olivier emphasizes:<\/p>\n \u27a1\ufe0f No effective model without properly collected data.<\/p>\n \u27a1\ufe0f This crucial step is too often underestimated.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f And what about GDPR?<\/p>\n \u27a1\ufe0f Sometimes too vague, making it easy to bypass.<\/p>\n \u27a1\ufe0f Sometimes too rigid, slowing down innovation, particularly in healthcare.<\/p>\n Europe is advancing cautiously, while elsewhere the absence of rules accelerates innovation\u2014often at greater risk. Hence the urgent need for a balanced yet enforceable framework<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcac \u201cIs what\u2019s good for humanity always good for the human being?\u201d<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n Olivier ends his intervention with this essential question, highlighting the potential risks of an all-knowing, interconnected AI deployed without safeguards in unstable political contexts.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udccc This video is part of our mini-series <\/span>\u201cAI & International Development \u2013 Perspectives from Belgium and Qu\u00e9bec\u201d<\/b>, organized by <\/span>YULCOM Technologies in Brussels<\/b>, in partnership with <\/span>FARI<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5 In this excerpt, Olivier reflects on the concrete conditions needed for an AI that is responsible, rigorous, and truly adapted to the challenges of development<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcf2 Watch Olivier Moisse\u2019s intervention<\/p>\n\n
