Gilles Babinet Speaking Topics

Digital transformation of companies

This conference looks at the origins of the digital revolution and its consequences on large organisations (changes in the production model, the management model, etc.). It can be presented in several ways depending on the type of activity of the client. This is Gilles' main conference, which is constantly being improved in line with societal changes.

Public administration and digital

Focusing more on the intertwining of public policy and digital technology, this conference discusses the political issues related to the emergence of digital technology as well as the challenges of the digital transformation of the public administration through numerous examples. In particular, it deals with the cultural and managerial changes that digital transformation brings about.

Big data and artificial intelligence

This conference insists on the importance of AI in a digital revolution that has only just begun. It therefore seeks to create a historical timeline of the history of data, the challenge of its liberation by increasingly rapid technologies and the advent of artificial intelligence. This conference avoids the dystopian bias usually evoked when dealing with this theme, without denying the major issues in terms of regulation and ethics.

Work and economy in the digital age

The major social and economic changes that we can expect in the coming world are summarised in this conference. The current models and the challenges of their evolution are questioned, particularly in relation to the various recent digital upheavals.

Digital and emerging countries

In emerging countries, digital has been seen as an important transition factor, capable of providing education as well as medical, financial, transport and other services. While experience shows that these services are not yet having the expected impact, they are nevertheless transforming the economy and social systems of emerging countries. This conference is based on numerous examples from countries as diverse as Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, South Africa...
