Keynote by Caspar Herzberg, AVEVA Systems CEO | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Caspar Herzberg, Kasper Hesberg
Aveva CEO Kasper Hesberg is set to launch in June an industrial AI assistant that merges predictive analytics with Large Language Models to help engineers overcome data silos and access the insights of veterans with 12 years of experience. This solution, already validated in cases like Duke Energy where it prevents $90 million in losses per event, addresses the critical challenge of 70% unused time-series data by summarizing technical manuals and guiding remote collaboration through 3D asset visualizations. By strictly limiting its scope to verified telemetry and documentation, the system delivers high-accuracy maintenance predictions while mitigating the hallucination risks common to general-purpose AI.

'Production Ready RAG' by David Leconte from DataStax | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
David Leconte, a Solution Engineer at Datastack, presented a comprehensive framework for transitioning Retrieval-Augmented Generation applications from experimental prototypes to stable, enterprise-grade production environments. The proposed RAG Stack mitigates common industry risks such as library fragmentation and compliance gaps through curated, daily-validated integrations and provides AstraDB, a serverless vector database that delivers 10-millisecond latency and 74% faster retrieval speeds than dedicated competitors. By combining these core components with the newly acquired Longflow workflow engine, Datastack enables organizations to deploy compliant, high-throughput generative AI systems via single-command installation while reducing development time and operational liability.

Weighing the GLP-1 Market
Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, Jonathan Gruber, Alison Nathan
Experts and economists convened to analyze the clinical efficacy of GLP-1 agonists for obesity, contrasting their maximum 22.5% weight reduction rates against the superior remission capabilities of bariatric surgery and the 20% non-response rate observed in diverse patient cohorts. The discussion highlighted systemic barriers where Medicare excludes obesity coverage while private plans vary, driving debates on pricing models and the potential $800 billion annual economic impact of widespread adoption. Ultimately, the dialogue proposed policy interventions such as government price adjudication and prize-based incentives to balance pharmaceutical innovation incentives with public affordability and workforce productivity gains.

Transforming Healthcare: Unleashing GenAI's Potential Across Medical Frontiers | RAISE Summit 2024
Hakima Berdouz, Christian Allouche, Clément Stippel, Charles Roberts
Founders from Hope Valley AI, Glimmer, DeepSyn, and OKI alongside ARK Invest's Charles Roberts discussed how generative AI is transitioning healthcare from theoretical promise to tangible tools that accelerate drug discovery, reduce radiology errors by up to 50%, and democratize access to mobile imaging for five billion people. The panel highlighted critical industry challenges, including regulatory bottlenecks under the EU AI Act, the necessity of human oversight to maintain patient trust, and the urgent need for diverse development teams to mitigate algorithmic bias in clinical outcomes. Ultimately, the session framed the sector's future around "causal discovery" in biology and the deployment of audited, explainable AI systems that serve as co-pilots rather than replacements for medical professionals.

Responsible AI Activation: Governance AI | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Teos, Nicole Butna, Shyam Nagarajan, Rinald Manohar
Moderated by INSEAD professor Theos, a panel of AI strategy experts Nicole Butna, IBM consultant Shyam Nagarajan, and blockchain specialist Rinald Manohar identified critical risks such as human dependency on automation, data poisoning, and the potential for un-audited systems to mirror financial crises. The discussion established a consensus that effective AI governance must evolve from reactive compliance to proactive "ethics by design," requiring board-level oversight and multi-party accountability to manage self-evolving models and synthetic data feedback loops. To bridge the current maturity gap and regulatory skepticism, the panel advocated for treating AI governance as essential infrastructure comparable to financial auditing, emphasizing shared global values and cost-effective tamper-proof auditability to foster industry trust.

Architects of Transformation: Foundational Models in Generative AI | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Daphné Leprince-Ringuet, Pablo, Milos, Nan, Marco, Artur Polis
Moderated by Daphné Leprince-Ringuet, the "Architects of Transformation" panel featured experts from Rave, DeepSets, Gena, and Defector to analyze the critical disconnect between enterprise expectations for deterministic AI and the stochastic reality of foundational models. The discussion highlighted that while companies like Defector have successfully deployed AI agents to double financing origination, widespread adoption remains hindered by legal concerns over training data, the high cost of production-grade infrastructure, and a severe talent mismatch between research engineers and product-focused builders. Participants concluded that the industry is shifting toward licensed, IP-safe "walled gardens" and emphasized that future success depends on integrating AI as a controlled operational component rather than a standalone feature.

The Collapse of the Human Empire: Reflexions from the AGI | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Laurent Alexandre, Charles-Edouard Boué
Laurent Alexandre and Charles-Edouard Boué predict that the current AI investment bubble, driven by unsustainable unit economics, will collapse within eighteen months to trigger a new era of techno-politics and aggressive regulation. The discussion highlights critical barriers to Artificial General Intelligence, including the physical limitations of moving from 2D to 3D environments, entropy management challenges, and the paradox where human-AI collaboration yields lower diagnostic accuracy than AI alone. Ultimately, the speakers argue that the future dominance of machines may lead to a "machine aristocracy," yet the primary risk to human civilization stems from internal societal failures like elite corruption rather than inherent machine hostility.
