The first documented live performance blending generative AI and a musician took place in November 2022, when pianist David Dolan (Guildhall School of Music and Drama) improvised in dialogue with a semi-autonomous AI system designed by composer Oded Ben-Tal (Kingston University). This groundbreaking concert demonstrated the creative possibilities of AI as a collaborative partner in music.
In industries where compliance and policy management are critical, drafting and maintaining up-to-date policies is a vital yet time-consuming task. Traditionally, organizations have relied on a manual process for researching competitors' policies and creating their own. This involved labour-intensive web searches, data extraction, and content organisation in spreadsheets, followed by drafting documents from scratch.
The abundance and diversity of responses to ChatGPT and other generative AIs, whether skeptical or enthusiastic, demonstrate the changes they're bringing about and the impact they're having far beyond the usual technology circles. This is in stark contrast to previous generations of AI, which were essentially predictive and generally the subject of articles or theses confined to the realm of research and innovation.
PoCs in generative AI have proliferated, mainly in large companies. But few initiatives have been industrialized due to their complexity. Hanan Ouazan, Partner and Generative AI lead at Artefact, takes stock of the situation and looks at ways to improve in this article by Christophe Auffray, journalist at LeMagIT.
Generative AI personalizes and optimizes marketing strategies, signifying a decisive turning point in customer engagement and campaign performance. Here's a look back at what Hanan Ouazan, Partner Data Science & Lead Generative AI at Artefact, had to say at Hubforum 2023.
Edouard de Mézerac, Artefact APAC CEO, reveals what’s behind the curtain on Little Red Book, aka Xiaohongshu, China’s social media channel. The app, simply called Red by its users, has become one of the hottest social platforms in China. Founded in 2013 originally as a cross-border shopping hub, the Shanghai-based platform has evolved into a vital part of the Chinese social media landscape, with over 300 million monthly active users. With over 80 million community sharers and 90% user-generated content, the platform's unique blend of social media and e-commerce is designed to inspire lives by enabling users to share experiences through images, video and text.
A series of controversies surrounding the outcomes of GenAI models has increased advocacy for ethical oversight and governance of AI. While explicit bias, violence, and discrimination have advanced, implicit bias and microaggressions have not. On the eve of Pride Month 2024, Artefact released Fierté AI, an ethical open source LLM assistant that can detect and rephrase microaggressions and unconscious bias in all GenAI models. At Artefact, we truly believe that "AI is about people''. This has been our primary motivation in building Fierté AI. "Fierté" means "pride" in French and represents the LGBTQIA+ community's ongoing struggle for equality in society.
Hanan Ouazan has graduated from Ecole Normale Supérieur and Ecole Centrale de Lille in ML and AI. He joined Artefact almost 10 years ago and has been for the past few years the Lead for Generative AI.
On June 5th, Vincent Luciani, CEO of Artefact, delivered an insightful speech at the Adopt AI Summit organized by Artefact at Station F in Paris. Vincent shared personal anecdotes and professional observations, illustrating the transformative impact of AI on both individual aspirations and business processes. He emphasized the rapid advancements in AI technology and the significant potential it holds for reshaping industries and improving efficiency in the coming years.
