💡 Thème de l’épisode :Dans cette édition spéciale AI RECAP LIVE, nous revenons sur les enseignements les plus puissants de la Saison 4, Épisode 89, avec Dominique Shelton Leipzig — PDG de Global Data Innovation, auteure primée de Trust: Responsible AI, Innovation, Privacy & Data Leadership, et l’une des voix les plus respectées au monde en matière de gouvernance éthique de l’IA.
Reconnue mondialement comme « L’Oracle des Données », Dominique nous enseigne que la confiance est la véritable monnaie du leadership dans un monde régi par les algorithmes et l’automatisation. Son cadre TRUST™ — Triage, Données Fiables, Tests Ininterrompus, Supervision et Documentation Technique — donne aux leaders les moyens de mettre en œuvre l’éthique à grande échelle. Elle nous invite à « anticiper les risques, protéger les personnes et aligner la technologie sur la mission », en rappelant à tous que « Ce sont les humains qui contrôlent l’IA — et non l’inverse. »

🎯 Points forts du AI RECAP :1️⃣ Diriger avec confiance : L’intégrité et la transparence sont des avantages stratégiques, pas des luxes moraux.2️⃣ Gouverner avec vision : Une bonne gouvernance ne ralentit pas l’innovation — elle l’accélère.3️⃣ La diversité est une stratégie : L’inclusion favorise une IA plus intelligente, des équipes plus fortes et de meilleurs résultats.4️⃣ Redéfinir le succès : Derrière chaque récompense se cachent dix échecs — et chaque échec est une donnée pour grandir.5️⃣ Servir avec compassion : Les leaders authentiques dirigent avec le cœur, pas pour les titres.
