Previous Talks from Gregory Renard
Angie, première sortie à la plénière Techdays 2012
During the plenary session on the third day of Techdays 2012, the company XBrainsoft unveiled Angie, an Intelligent Personal Assistant. Angie allows users to issue a range of voice commands to make a call, dictate a text message, set an alarm, check the news, weather, or TV schedule, and toggle Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or airplane mode. Angie can also perform translations in 17 languages using the Bing translation engine and update social networks (Facebook, Twitter).
The Future Of The Mind - LeWeb'14 Paris
In a world dominated by tech giants, one voice dares to say: AI should be open, human, and shared. In this bold live demo and conversation, Gregory Renard presents xBrain—an open platform designed to let any developer, in any business, build intelligent systems that talk, listen, and learn. From powering robots to enhancing Teslas, Gregory shows how AI isn’t just about automation—it’s about saving time, elevating interaction, and democratizing intelligence. His vision? Not another Siri. Not another Google. But a global ecosystem where you own your data, your assistant, and your future. If you believe AI should empower the many, not the few, this talk is your blueprint. It’s not about competing with giants—it’s about liberating intelligence.
Grégory Renard at France is AI 2017: Generating customer responses with GANs
What if you could build powerful AI assistants—without mountains of labeled data? In this sharp, behind-the-scenes session, Gregory Renard explains how his team at xBrain is rewriting the rules of conversational AI by harnessing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to create synthetic training data from scratch. Faced with real-world constraints—like clients lacking structured datasets—Gregory and his team pivoted from dependency to innovation. They built AI that learns to talk by generating, challenging, and refining its own language—just like a human would through dialogue and feedback. This isn’t science fiction. It’s how tomorrow’s most human-like AI will be trained. No labels. No shortcuts. Just raw intelligence built from bold vision.
"L'IA est un outil qui sert à gagner du temps" - Gregory Renard, spécialiste IA
ChatGPT n'est pas fondamentalement une nouveauté pour les professionnels du secteur. Dans cette interview, on décrypte le fonctionnement de ChatGPT et on évoque les applications pratiques potentielles. 🎙 Grégory Renard, spécialiste de l’intelligence artificielle appliquée au langage (Berkeley University, Nasa) Grégory Renard connaît les outils d'IA depuis longemps. Pour lui, ChatGPT n'est pas une nouveauté. Il nous explique comment ça marche et à quoi cela peut servir concrètement.
Intelligence artificielle, liberté et continuité de l'homme | Gregory Renard | TEDxLille
What if artificial intelligence wasn’t just about machines—but about humanity itself? In this riveting talk, AI architect Gregory Renard walks us through a personal and cosmic journey—from a childhood coma to building tools that redefine how we learn, live, and connect. Gregory reveals a simple but powerful truth: humans have always invented ways to transcend their limits—from cave walls to printed books to the internet. Now, we stand at the edge of something bigger. Not more information. Better understanding. This is not a talk about technology. It’s about meaning, memory, and our duty to make knowledge accessible—not for an elite few, but for all. If you believe wisdom should be a shared legacy, this talk will shift your perspective—and maybe your purpose.
Belgian AI Week - March 17 - Keynote Gregory Renard
What if AI wasn’t just a tool, but a turning point for civilization? In this visionary keynote, Gregory Renard delivers a tour de force—from the cognitive factory floor to the ethical frontiers of AI. With 25+ years in applied NLP and deep learning systems, he reframes artificial intelligence not as a black box, but as an information supply chain—from raw data to collective wisdom. Gregory shows how machines can amplify human cognition, not replace it. From Tesla copilots to AI-powered social justice tools, from real-time disaster prediction with NASA to personal alignment engines that decode corporate values—this is AI designed for impact with intent. His call is clear: educate, act ethically, and embrace AI to uplift—not outpace—humanity. This talk is not a forecast. It’s a field guide for the augmented era.
Fireside chat with Gregory Renard, world-renowned expert in the field of artificial intelligence
In this forward-thinking talk, Gregory Renard explores the frontier of unsupervised and semi-supervised language modeling, where machines no longer need perfect datasets to understand us. With limited data, no labels, and real-world complexity, Gregory’s team built conversational AI that learns from scratch—bootstrapped, iteratively refined, and capable of scaling across customer support domains. By using smart embeddings, adversarial feedback, and zero-shot language constructs, they made machines that not only respond—but evolve. This is the future of NLP: efficient, adaptive, and free from data bottlenecks. If you want to build AI that grows with your business—not your annotation budget—start here.
