S1E5: (uncut) AI at the service of the public and a strategic asset for our cities!

In this episode, we explore a territory that's often underestimated when it comes to artificial intelligence: the public sector. How can cities and institutions use AI to better serve citizens, while respecting their values and rights? 🎙️ Two guests at the heart of the action will discuss this topic:

  • Stéphane Boyer, Mayor of Laval, who shares his vision of a more agile city, closer to its citizens, and who sees AI as a lever for improving public services without losing sight of the human element.

  • Anne Nguyen, Executive Director of Pôle IA du Québec, sheds light on the conditions required for responsible innovation in the public sector: governance, equity, collaboration... and political courage.

💡 Together, they discuss:

  • barriers and levers to AI adoption in cities and public agencies,

  • the importance of involving citizens from the outset,

  • and concrete ways of reconciling digital transformation and collective trust.

An essential episode for anyone interested in the real impact of AI on our daily lives, and the choices we need to make, collectively, to build a fair and sustainable technological future.
