Introduction
Welcome and event introduction
A little Treat, a little AI, A Big Business Idea by Afra Sarrafi
What if a simple afternoon treat could become the next big business idea? Inspired by the French tradition of le goûter and British afternoon tea, this interactive session explores how AI can help transform an everyday idea into a potential business. Through a fictional French-British bakery concept, we'll put AI to work as our virtual business partner — exploring market opportunities, researching competitors, creating a brand, developing a business model and planning a launch. We'll discover how AI can help turn creativity into commercial opportunity, while considering sustainability, supporting independent businesses and reducing food waste. No technical expertise required — just curiosity, creativity and an appetite for entrepreneurship!
Working Smarter with AI: From Better Prompts to Your Own AI Assistant by Liying GU-GAY
A practical and interactive session to help you use AI more effectively in your daily work: • Getting better results: practical prompting tips, including reverse prompting- asking AI to help you craft a better prompt. • Creating your own AI assistant: a live demo showing how to build a simple assistant in ChatGPT for everyday tasks.
Can You Break This AI-Built App? by Nicolas Ritouet
We’ll look at a small app built with AI, something everyone recognises like a booking or expense tool, and try to break it together. The challenges are things anyone can try from a browser: change a number in the address bar to see someone else’s data, or ask the chatbot to ignore its instructions. No code involved. Drawing on my work as CTO of a French government tech incubator, I’ll share a short list of questions to ask before sharing something you built with AI, or before trusting a tool a colleague built.
Dynamic and frugal AI by Stefan Duffner
A technical talk on how AI model inference can be accelerated using dynamic architectures that adapt to the input or resource constraints.
