Monday October 23, 2024, the CCI Ouest Normandie and its partners organized an unprecedented evening to inform the region's VSEs and SMEs about the new challenges raised by the practice of Artificial Intelligence. No less than 250 people responded!
« Artificial intelligence is one of the most transformative technologies of our time. Its goal is to enable computers to think and act like human beings. The challenge for companies is to find the good articulation between artificial intelligence and human intelligence to gain productivity », explains Sandrine Sarot, elected from the Center-and-South-Manche delegation of the West Normandy CCI.
In order to allow local businesses to see things more clearly, but also and above all to grasp the full scope of the advances offered by AI, the CCI Ouest Normandie organized last October 23, at the Haras national de Saint-Lô ( 50), an event specifically dedicated to this theme. The objective? Get answers as well as concrete and practical advice for using AI in our daily tasks and for boost our productivity.
“The impact of AI in transforming our businesses is only just beginning. Refusing AI would be the equivalent of depriving yourself of the Internet today and we know very well that this is impossible. It is therefore essential for business leaders to understand the issues and learn to adopt them. From today, AI can be used by all departments of a VSE or SME, such as legal, sales, of course, but also IT, HR, communication, marketing. There is no service that cannot do without it,” adds the CCI representative.
To meet their expectations, three highlights punctuated this evening: practical workshops, conference on Artificial Intelligence, cocktail and discussions. In total 34 sessions « ateliers » were thus organized around 6 main themes (everyday AI; marketing, sales and customer experience; process optimization, quality and production; human resources and employee management; security, IT systems and infrastructure; innovation and transformation strategy).
A first step to facilitate the integration of this innovation in companies, both VSEs and SMEs, which seems to correspond to a real expectation insofar as no less than 200 people (i.e. 156 companies) were present, displaying a satisfaction rate of 85% on the workshops.
In order to continue this awareness-raising, the CCI Ouest Normandie, via its FIM CCI Normandie training service, offers companies three new training courses, specifically dedicated to AI, as part of its offer “Train yourself in Artificial Intelligence to boost your performance! »:
- Communicate better with Artificial Intelligence
- Deciphering the challenges of Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI
- Building your AI strategy for decision-makers
These training courses are designed to provide essential skills to business leaders, as well as managers and employees of VSEs and SMEs.
