 The use of AI systems, making decisions about who lives and dies, completely changes the entire frameworks on which we base war. As AI redefines our world... AI. AI. Artificial intelligence. A new type of warfare is emerging, and we're seeing it take shape on the battlefields of Ukraine. With superpowers battling for AI supremacy, many experts fear we're heartling towards an unstoppable arms race. The worst case in our view is that warfare is accelerated to a point where nobody can control what is going on. Is it too late to rein in the rise of artificial intelligence? Intelligence. I wanted to set the scene with these two videos that shows two different aspects of artificial intelligence that are currently debated. The first one that you see, the beautiful one, has been published at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It's called Unsupervised. What is it? They've digitized the collection, it's part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and then they deployed algorithms to produce art on top of the art that has been digitized. And whoever has been there, it's quite fascinating, and I'll let you judge if it's art or not art, because it's produced by artificial intelligence, but it's nevertheless beautiful. The second is another aspect of the deployment of artificial intelligence. You've seen two things in this video, the second video. One is how you use artificial intelligence to plan the deployment of troops, not to be using machine learning to see the patterns of your enemy and the patterns of your own troop. The second element that you've seen at the end, where you have the swarm of drones, is how you can automate the deployment, because you can easily imagine there are no controlled towers to manage a swarm of drones. They are just autonomous, and they have peer-to-peer relationship. And that's the context in which we evolve in artificial intelligence. As every time there is a breakthrough in technology, there is this discussion about the utopian or dystopian perspective of technology. And the answer is about will it save or destroy the world? And the answer is neither nor. And for a simple reason that technology, ultimately, it's a machine, and a machine produces tasks, and human beings are normally more than a collection of tasks. And that's why these debates always appear, but always come to the same conclusion. On a broader scale, this has been approached by Professor Carlotta Peres. She's an economist, British Venezuelan, and she has worked extensively on the cycles in technology, and you see patterns with the usual expansion and contraction. And it has started long time ago, more recently with the steam machine up to the microprocessor and what we are just seeing with artificial intelligence right now. Just to contextualize and say, this is an important breakthrough, no doubt about it, but no different, in my view, than the previous breakthrough we've seen in technology, and we will have to approach it in a meaningful way. To do this on the panel today, I'm very pleased to find all colleagues, new colleagues on the panel. I will start with Professor Daniel Handler, he's a member of the Academy des Sciences Morales et Politiques, and he has just published a book called Intelligence Artificielle, Intelligence Humaine, La double enneme. I can only recommend, of course, the reading of this book, and best libraries, including online, available. And Daniel will set the context. I think artificial intelligence is complex, there are different types of artificial intelligence, and Daniel will showcase this. Then we will move with Professor Kazuko Suzuki, he's the University of Tokyo and Director of the Institute of Geoeconomics, as well, and he will cover the state of the policies regarding artificial intelligence. Then we are joined by Associate Professor Amina Sumaiti. She's in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the Cali-Fi University, and she will present us what she's working with the team about applying artificial intelligence, notably in transport systems or smart cities, which is a focus of her work. Then to make the connection with the topics we've discussed in technology before the World Policy Conference, Toby Simon, who is the founder of Synergia, a think tank and incubator based out of Bangalore, active in the Tri-Lateral Commission, will cover the cybersecurity aspect of AI. You have artificial intelligence for cybersecurity and the data protection, notably, in artificial intelligence. That's what he will cover. And lastly, I thought it would be of interest to think, oh, we have artificial intelligence as we know it, or as you will discover it today. But then there will be the two more charged artificial intelligence once we can deploy quantum technology. And that's what François Barot, entrepreneur well-known from the team here and the World Policy Conference, chairman of the DigiWorld Institute and also a board member of Sunbox. And he will tell us about his experience in quantum technology and how it will accelerate even further the deployment of artificial intelligence.
