A look back at the ALL IN Montréal 2024 conference
TREE Consulting had the pleasure of taking part in the ALL IN trade show in Montreal, an essential event for all those involved in artificial intelligence. It was a unique opportunity to exchange views with entrepreneurs, researchers and decision-makers on the future of AI and the challenges it raises.
Growing awareness of responsible AI
One of the major findings of the show was the central place given to ethical and environmental issues in the discussions. Responsible AI is no longer just an idea on the bangs, but a growing concern. However, while the need for an ethical and sustainable framework is recognized, concrete implementation remains unclear. Concrete examples of AI applied to social good and environmental preservation remain rare, and measuring its ecological impact remains a major challenge.
A dynamic and diverse ecosystem
ALL IN also revealed the richness of the AI ecosystem in Montreal and more widely in Canada. Far from being dominated solely by large technology companies, the show highlighted the diversity of the players involved: innovative startups, research centers, public organizations and academic institutions. This diversity illustrates the effervescence of the sector and the collective will to structure an AI that is more accessible and adapted to the realities of business and society.
An injunction to adopt AI
Another striking trend was the pressure felt by many professionals to integrate AI into their organizations. Several visitors told us: “My boss is asking me to do AI”, illustrating an adoption that is sometimes more forced than considered. This observation underlines the need for strategic support to help companies identify the real opportunities offered by AI, beyond fad effects.
Towards a truly sustainable and strategic AI
At TREE Consulting, we believe that AI should not be an end in itself, but a tool at the service of a positive and measurable impact. Participating in ALL IN has reinforced our mission: to support organizations in the strategic and responsible integration of AI, taking into account its ethical, social and environmental implications.Thank you to everyone who came to exchange with us! Let’s continue together to build AI that creates value, not only for companies, but also for society and the planet.
