When innovation and creativity become a collective challenge. I was fortunate to be invited by Challenges.

700 million daily ChatGPT users: a staggering figure that illustrates the rapid spread of AI. But beyond the technology, a central question remains: how can we make it a lever for innovation and progress for the common good?

Vincent Beaufils recalls Charles de Gaulle, who inspired the spirit of this AI summit: “Let us have the ambition that progress be for the common good.”

Key points of the CommonGoodSummit:

Growth & innovation: According to Philippe Aghion, AI facilitates innovation and generates a productivity effect greater than the substitution effect. However, we still need to adapt our educational institutions. Education & Personalization: AI can adapt to learning rhythms, offering graded exercises and more inclusive teaching, according to Marc Gurgand @ParisSchoolofEconomics. But it must not replace human expertise.

Human + AI Complementarity: In medicine, research, or management, strength lies in hybridization: AI plus human always surpasses AI alone or humans alone.

Work & Meaning: Béatrice Dautzenberg describes how L’Oréal is investing massively in #BeautyTech. AI is becoming a “research companion” and a catalyst for creativity, without replacing human talent.

Augmented Creativity: AI doesn’t reduce imagination; it amplifies it, especially for juniors and creators. The key: knowing how to collaborate with it.

AI isn’t just a technology: it’s an institutional, educational, and cultural transformation. It pushes us to rethink the meaning of work, creativity, and innovation in the service of the common good.
