Welcome to the channel of La graine inspirante, podcasts by and for managers. This episode is brought to you by GERME, a network of progress for managers! Today we are going to talk about artificial intelligence with Vincent Le Cerf, a specialist on the subject. Who is the guest? Vincent Le Cerf is a doctor in Artificial Intelligence, and founder of Metagenia, a software publisher. His mantra? Understand the most advanced technologies in computing and democratize them! What would be your definition of AI? For me, AI could just as well mean Advanced Computing. These are digital tools or software that simulate human intelligence and that have advanced over time. Like them, the definition of AI also evolves over time. In the 70s, we had algorithms that looked for the shortest paths to assist us. Today we have machines but they only simulate our intelligence, so it is useless to project our way of thinking onto them. They can also have “hallucinations” (off-topics). Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence? We can make the analogy with a hammer. The tool itself is not something we are afraid of, but in some cases we can be afraid of the person using the hammer. It's a bit the same with AI, there are GAFAS that have a power of use of AI that is difficult to control. How can AI assist managers in their daily lives? I see two ways in which artificial intelligence can assist the manager: in writing and in decision-making. On Chat GPT, for example, we can send a prompt. But for a constructive response, two prerequisites: knowing how to contextualize your request having knowledge in the field of the question So we can try a prompt like "In [my specific field] as [my function], how can I identify the risks over the next 3 years?". How to make effective prompts on Chat GPT and control the AI's responses? A manager's job is to ask the right questions but also to know how to read the answers. That's a bit what we do with Chat GPT in the end. If you are competent in a field, chat GPT will help you go further in this area of ​​expertise. I propose a method to create effective prompts, the ROC: RoleObjectiveContext / TargetShould I be afraid as a manager of seeing my job disappear with the arrival of AI? The disappearance of the manager's job replaced by Artificial Intelligence is not to be feared for the simple reason that for me, the manager is a job looking for "pink elephants". The AI ​​machine will be unable to detect and analyze certain things, because they are rare. Amit Ray, a prominent AI scientist, said "the growing emergence of AI in our world requires a parallel increase in emotional intelligence in our leadership". Is there a paradox in mixing artificial intelligence and emotions? I discovered this sentence. What is interesting in it, the more digital we put in our lives, the more the collective, emotional intelligence part and all types of intelligence on this planet will gain momentum. Indeed, the machine itself is devoid of it and only executes actions planned in advance. Vincent Le Cerf, what would be your only advice to give to the managers who are listening to us about AI? Try to imagine how you will organize the knowledge that will be generated by these AI tools in your companies tomorrow. This phase of capitalizing on knowledge, expertise and feedback will be the value of the company of tomorrow. Remember: AI is advanced computing to simulate human intelligence ROC for Role Objective Target/context for your prompts Humans are necessary at all times Thanks to Vincent Le Cerf and stay tuned!
