[🎬 Replay of the discussion with Octave Klaba, Founder and President of OVHcloud, at the Adopt AI #Summit by Artefact] on the cloud adoption of AI. Questions by Damien GROMIER, Partner at Artefact and CEO of Artefact Open Innovation. 👉 Watch and get inspired by the President of OVHcloud on the Vision stage: https://lnkd.in/eDwvaVJA 📖 Read the REPORT of Adopt AI with the replays & synthesis of all CEOs keynotes & key discussion panels: https://lnkd.in/e8yj2CeN 💼  Octave Klaba is the founder and chairman of OVHcloud, a leading global cloud infrastructure provider offering web hosting, dedicated servers, and cloud solutions. He studied at Icam - Institut Catholique d'Arts et Métiers in Lille, where he developed his engineering expertise. In 1999 he founded OVH, which has grown to become one of Europe's largest cloud computing companies with numerous data centers worldwide. Octave Klaba is a strong advocate for European tech sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of independence from non-European cloud giants. Key insights from the discussion between Octave Klaba and Damien GROMIER: ✔ Cloud providers face challenges due to the rapid obsolescence of #hardware and the need for continuous innovation. So, you need to have a vision for 3 to 4 years ahead, considering when the hardware you invested in will become obsolete and the investments that this will entail. But the most important part is about the #customers. One must ask why a consumer uses AI. The answer is often to reduce costs. As cloud providers, it is therefore important to implement meaningful projects, improve others, and ensure that AI makes companies and people more efficient. ✔ Europe, particularly France, has the potential to excel in developing AI models and technologies. Klaba suggested leveraging Europe's engineering talent to create innovative, customer-centric AI solutions, possibly through #open-source models. ✔ OVHcloud is working on reducing AI inference costs and developing new #AIproducts. He stressed the importance of aligning technological advancements with customer needs and business profitability to ensure long-term success. ✔ One of the key points is to make AI accessible and easy to use, like on a smartphone that helps people #adopt it quickly. This simplicity proves that AI can be accessible to everyone, which is why there's so much excitement and hype around it today. As people find AI easy to use in their personal lives, big companies will also start using it for their businesses. 🗣 “AI is fundamentally changing how we interact with technology. It's about making AI accessible and practical for businesses and individuals alike, driving innovation and efficiency across all sectors,” says Octave Klaba. 👉 Watch all the replays of the Adopt AI Summit: https://lnkd.in/eDxHcR47

🌟 Last week was incredibly dynamic for the quantum ecosystem with three significant events that brought our community to life. We organized three official Viva Technology side events: the France Quantum Conference, the European Tech Sovereignty Summit and the Quantum Night. On May 21st, just after the France Quantum Conference which gathered more than 750 attendees at STATION F, The European Tech Sovereignty Summit took place at The French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. 🇪🇺  It was a remarkable gathering organised by France Quantum, Artefact and Paradise Group, bringing together 200 policy makers, scale-up founders, and growth investors. This summit highlighted the critical role of Generative AI and quantum technology in enhancing our European sovereignty with an inspiring roundtable discussion with: 👉 Olivier Tonneau, Partner, Quantonation 👉 Chloé Poisbeau Cantelli, COO, Alice & Bob 👉 Philippe Bouyer, Board Member & Director of Research & Technology, Quantum Delta NL 👉 Moderated by Fanny Bouton, Quantum Lead & Startup Program Leader, OVHcloud Later in the week, we were thrilled to take part in the Quantum Night, hosted by H.E. Mr Jan Versteeg, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to France and co-organised by Quantum Delta NL & France Quantum. This Viva Technology side event was the occasion for Dutch and French companies and decision-makers to explore the potential of quantum technologies for end-users. A key highlight was the roundtable on "Quantum for Industry," featuring: 👉 Ali El Hamidi, Deputy head Capital Markets Funding - Global Markets Division, Crédit Agricole CIB 👉 Jean-Patrick MASCOMERE, Scientific Computing Manager, TotalEnergies 👉 Jasper Simon Krauser, Quantum Technology Central Coordinator, Airbus 👉 Jelte Zwetsloot, Innovation Consultant, Alliander 👉 Moderated by Deborah Nas, Initiative Lead Centre for Quantum & Society These events have truly empowered the vibrant and collaborative nature of the quantum ecosystem.
