Digital, In the NewsSecurity methods for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games are relying on artificial intelligence, specifically algorithmic video surveillance. However, this technology poses a number of issues, particularly in terms of personal data protection. Claudine Guerrier, legal researcher at Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, tells us more about video surveillance using artificial intelligence.

Olympic and paralympic games 2024, the competition of radio frequencies
Digital, In the NewsLast summer, Paris hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games, an international event that brought with it an unparalleled need to control radio frequencies and prevent both intentional and unintentional interference. This was the role of France’s National Frequency Agency (ANFR), which was having to increase its workforce accordingly. To meet this exceptional need, Télécom SudParis recruited and trained a number of students over several months to help with controlling frequencies.

Behind the prompts: the unsuspected risks of generative AI
Digital, In the News, SocietyThe EU recently adopted the AI Act, which establishes a legal framework for the safe and ethical use of AI. But what about generative AI? At Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, a researcher and her PhD student are studying the risks associated with generative AI, particularly ChatGPT, based on real-life incidents. Their work highlights major ethical issues and shows the emergence of multifaceted risks associated with the new uses of this revolutionary technology.

Do we still need structured information? (The answer is yes)
Digital, In the NewsLarge language models (LLM) are revolutionizing the relevance of natural language comprehension and text responses. Combining them with structured data for standardized organization only improves their accuracy. It is against this backdrop that Telecom Paris researcher Fabian Suchanek and his team are continuing to develop the YAGO knowledge base.

The cruel dilemma of health data in the ai era: privacy or equity?
Digital, Health, In the NewsFederated learning is a way to collaboratively train artificial intelligence models. It thus represents a possible solution to AI biases, often caused by training said models on samples that lack diversity. In the healthcare sector, these biases can lead to problems of equity between patients. The EQUIHid project explores how federated learning can help develop more equitable healthcare services.

Will buildings soon achieve self-awareness?
