Frequently asked questions
- What is the link between geopolitics and AI?
- AI has become a major geopolitical issue: it reshapes the balance of power between states and companies and raises questions of sovereignty — data, models, chips, energy — and technological dependence. Bringing this geopolitical lens makes it possible to deploy AI in a sovereign, responsible way. It is the angle Martin Toussaint brings, drawing on his training in economic intelligence and geopolitics.
- What is the difference between generative and agentic AI?
- Generative AI produces content (text, image, code) in response to a prompt. Agentic AI goes further: it autonomously chains actions to reach a goal — calling tools, querying systems, running multi-step tasks. Agentic AI turns the model from an assistant into an operator.
- How does an AI transformation engagement work?
- The engagement spans a full chain: shaping the strategy, training teams, auditing usage and building solutions. The goal is durable, responsible AI adoption, guided by people, rather than an isolated technology rollout.
