Behind the prompts: the unsuspected risks of generative AI

/in , ,

The 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.

Good RESOH-lutions for nuclear power

/in ,

The RESOH Chair’s mission is to address safety and performance issues from a socio-organizational perspective. For its third term, the Chair will have a special focus on the issue of skills and facilitating the use of research results by its partners. This research and teaching project led by IMT Atlantique closely analyzes work activities and the dynamics surrounding “safe performance” in high-risk industries, particularly the nuclear sector.

AlgiFoam: the story of a rising foam

/in ,

Researchers from IMT Mines Alès have developed an innovative, ecological and biodegradable material: AlgiFoam. The production methods based on expanded biopolymer beads have brought it closer to meeting industrial requirements and offer greater shaping possibilities. This project is rapidly expanding and will soon give rise to a start-up. Here is a closer look at how this exploratory concept traveled from the lab to luxury display cases.

COCPIT leads the way in microalgae-based biofuels

/in ,

The COCPIT project’s goal is to develop an advanced and sustainable biofuel solution for the aviation and maritime sectors using microalgae. Sary Awad, Professor in the Energy Systems and Environment Department of IMT Atlantique, coordinates the project. He works on biofuel production processes and characterization. He gives us an inside look at the project along with Julien Prud’homme, head of European projects for the Research and Innovation Department at IMT Atlantique.

Swoop Energy gives a second life to electric vehicle batteries

/in ,

With the ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars in Europe by 2035, repurposing used electric vehicle batteries is an increasingly important issue. The start-up Swoop Energy, which was incubated at IMT Nord Europe and present at VivaTech 2023, provides a sustainable alternative to polluting generators by recovering these end-of-life batteries to integrate […]

BAYFLEX: green electronics for health

/in , , ,

The European BAYFLEX project aims to develop flexible, intelligent sensors capable of continuously collecting and processing biological signals before their on-chip classification. This ambitious project adds value by using “green” organic technologies, which require less energy to manufacture and use.

Measuring pollution emissions from maritime transport

/in ,

While road traffic pollution is now strictly controlled, the same cannot be said for the maritime sector, with its different fuels, engine types and regulations that differ depending on the shipping area. The EMINAV project, funded by Ademe to the tune of €258,000 for three years, aims to assess the pollution emitted by maritime transport […]

Eclore Actuators develops highly energy-efficient, bio-inspired actuators

/in ,

Traditional pneumatic and hydraulic actuators are used in all sectors of industry, but they have their limits in terms of energy consumption. Eclore Actuators, a start-up incubated at IMT Atlantique, has redesigned the component using a new folding process developed in-house. Tens or even hundreds of pneumatic actuators are used in most manufacturing machines to […]

How long can we continue to exceed planetary limits?

/in ,

By Natacha Gondran, Mines Saint-Étienne, UMR 5600 Environment, City, Society (EVS), and Aurélien Boutaud, associate researcher at UMR 5600 EVS. In recent months, several scientific papers months have drawn attention to the fact that new planetary limits have been crossed (e.g., here and here). These worrying observations have been the subject of numerous media reports. But what do scientists mean […]
