'GenAI at Scale Measuring Enterprise Outcomes in the AI-First World' | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
François Candelon, Yuriy Nevmyvaka, Yannis Daubin, Harry Grieve, Jeremy Harroch, Antoine Courret
Leaders from Morgan Stanley, BCG, Databricks, and emerging tech firms convened to analyze the divergent paths of AI adoption, highlighting that successful enterprise integration depends more on human workflow re-engineering and change management than on technological capabilities. Key insights revealed that while financial services are deploying production-grade models and decentralized compute protocols are lowering costs, the primary barrier remains the lack of mature data platforms and the cultural resistance to blending human creativity with AI efficiency. Ultimately, the panelists agreed that future success will be dictated by navigating strict regulatory landscapes, preserving open-source innovation, and prioritizing sovereign data sovereignty to enable secure, scalable deployment across global industries.

'AI VCs with more than money' | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Marten Mickos, Bernard Liautaud, Antoine Blondeau
HackerOne CEO Martin Mikos moderated a panel with investors Antoine Blondeau and Bernard Liotto to analyze the chaotic yet transformative nature of the current AI explosion, which Blondeau describes as a "giant accident" that requires a pivot from feature-based startups to full-scale outcome-oriented businesses. Both investors emphasized that while adoption speeds are compressing, successful AI ventures must balance immediate operational agility with five-year strategic planning to leverage high-margin automation and secure leadership teams with a rebellious obsession for quality. The discussion concluded that the sector is rapidly evolving toward hyper-efficient companies generating massive revenue with fewer than 100 employees, warning that only founders who build enduring businesses rather than transient widgets will survive the market's volatility.
