🤖 **Update of OECD Principles on Artificial Intelligence** On May 3, the OECD Ministerial Council adopted a revision of the OECD Principles on Artificial Intelligence. This update aims to address emerging challenges related to AI technologies, with a focus on privacy, intellectual property rights, security, and information integrity. 🌐 With 47 members, including the EU, these principles provide a model for policy frameworks to manage risks associated with AI and shape policies globally. They promote innovative and trustworthy AI that respects human rights and democratic values. 🎯 The key revisions aim to: - Address security issues by establishing mechanisms to neutralize, remedy, or decommission AI systems exhibiting undesirable behavior. - Tackle errors and misinformation, as well as safeguarding information integrity in the context of generative AI. - Promote responsible business conduct throughout the AI system lifecycle, by fostering transparency and responsible disclosure. - Highlight environmental sustainability, an increasingly important concern. - Emphasize the need for international collaboration to promote interoperable governance and policy environments for AI.

[Publication] Net Zero Initiative - Understanding the role of digital solutions in the global net zero effort ➡️ Guidelines for the digital sector : https://lnkd.in/e_BTYaDz 🖥 The digital sector currently counts for 2.1% to 3.9% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 2.5% of France's carbon footprint. The sector's emissions are rising steadily every year, and could increase by 45% between 2020 and 2030 if the trend remains unchanged. ⚠️ In addition to GHG emissions, the sector is exerting increasing pressure on mineral and fossil resources, water use and waste.  ⚠️ Growing demand for electricity and non-recyclable critical metals could come into competition with the increased needs from the low-carbon transition. At the same time, the digital sector is sometimes promoted as a provider of solutions to the climate crisis, capable of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of other sectors. ❓ But is it really the case ?  ❓ What is the decarbonisation potential of digital technology ? ❓ How can digital companies contribute to the global net zero ? 1️⃣ Firstly, a company should ensure that its solutions are compatible with a low-carbon world 2️⃣ Secondly, it must reduce its own emissions and contribute to the development of carbon sinks In order to guide companies in the digital sector to understand the role of their solutions, the issues to address, the calculation of avoided emissions, etc., and help them have a positive impact, Carbone 4 has launched NZI for IT with the support of 9 corporate sponsors, and created a new methodology specific to the digital sector. Report led by Clara Benedini, Zénon VASSELIN, Benjamin Paulmier and Pierre MAQUET.  The NZI team would like to thank our sponsors Back Market, Bureau Veritas Group, Constellation, IJO, ISAI, OCTO Technology, Orange, OVHcloud, VusionGroup and all of the contributors who helped the analysis.

Webinar: Cybersecurity and Privacy Awareness for IRCC-funded organizations In spite of the title I've confirmed that sessions and recordings will be available to agencies that are not IRCC funded so feel free to sign up. Sign up soon, sessions are next week: "The IRCC Settlement and Integration Service Delivery Committee has identified building capacity in the area of privacy and data security to be a national priority. The objective is to ensure recipient organizations are up-to-date on obligations towards their respective provincial privacy laws by which they are governed and best practices for compliance with industry standards. As the safeguarding of client information is of utmost importance to the Government of Canada, OCASI has been requested by IRCC to deliver mandatory training for all IRCC-funded organizations. Knowing how to ensure client privacy and that the security of the information is maintained is crucial for mitigating risks for settlement agencies, both ethically and legally. With many staff working in a hybrid manner, special attention must be paid to cybersecurity and data privacy principles when working remotely and in person. The Settlement sector is not immune to potential data breaches, where sensitive information may be stolen. The consequences of these data breaches can significantly impact clients’ lives in Canada, including potential identity theft. To ensure Ontario’s Settlement Sector is aware of these issues, OCASI is organizing a 90 minute webinar to address these issues. The webinars listed below cover the same information. They are being offered twice in English and once in French." https://lnkd.in/dySyVHqE

#generativeAi after the buzz, time to reflect on key factors of success to deploy #GenAI tools in large companies : where does it have the most impact, who will be the main users, how to monitor infra and carbon costs. Thanks Matthieu OLIVIER, La Poste Groupe and Denis Coutrot, Getlink for sharing your experience in this journey! Thanks also to datacraft for coorganizing this event and to people attending : very relevant questions on how to comply with regulatory requirements, sovereignty, multiple LLMs and the change coming from SLLMs and open source algorithms but also on #ROI and how to measure impact! Congrats Pierre Biousse ! #AI Ekimetrics
