USI 2017 : La Conférence Lève Le Voile Sur Les Speakers De Sa 10Ème Édition USI 2017 : la conférence lève le voile sur les speakers de sa 10ème édition Ce sont 30 intervenants d’exception, philosophes, scientifiques, entrepreneurs ou encore hacktivistes venus du monde entier qui se réuniront pour la conférence USI les 19 et 20 juin prochains au Carrousel du Louvre. Parmi eux, Ingrid Betancourt, Dan Ariely, Moran Cerf, Cédric Villani, Mark Esposito… Paris, le 17 mai 2017 : USI réunit pendant 2 jours tout l’écosystème de la digitalisation autour d’​un line-up unique​. Centrée sur les enjeux du digital, USI challenge l’avenir, questionne, explore. Sa sélection éclectique d’intervenants et son Line-Up d’exception offrent une approche inédite des nouvelles technologies. Au programme de cette 10ème conférence : Intelligence Artificielle, Technologie, Interaction, Produit, Management, Economie, Philosophie, Théorie et Humain. Pour illustrer toutes ces thématiques, 30 intervenants du monde entier feront le déplacement pour traiter des enjeux de la transformation actuelle et future de nos sociétés. Laurent Alexandre Chirurgien-urologue français, Expert en nanotechnologies “Nous sommes face à une rupture radicale entre une économie démiurgique et exponentielle de l’intelligence artificielle. Nous avons généré des datas à outrance ces dernières années, sans réellement réfléchir aux conséquences que cela pouvait entraîner, en particulier sur l’inégalité des compétences cognitives entre individus. Comment manager cette intelligence artificielle, tout en évitant une dislocation sociale ? Il va falloir construire une éthique de l’intelligence ; c’est d’ailleurs la grande urgence de ces 10 prochaines années. USI est la pierre angulaire de toutes ces réflexions et de plus, François a été le premier à avoir une vision de l’informatique qui dépasse l’informatique. A mes yeux, cette conférence inspirante est un rendez-vous annuel incontournable.” - Découvrez les speakers 2017 ​- Ingrid Betancourt Talk / ​Se construire face à la peur Ingrid Betancourt, 54 ans, ancienne militante politique, a été détenue par les Forces armées révolutionnaires de Colombie (Farc) pendant plus de six ans. Elle s’exprimera sur la façon dont elle a pu se reconstruire après son vécu d’ex-otage, et les moyens qu’elle a mis en place pour faire de cette peur quelque chose de constructif dans sa vie personnelle et professionnelle. Dan Ariely Talk / ​Le prévisiblement irrationnel Dan Ariely est professeur de psychologie et d'économie comportementale à l'Université Duke et membre fondateur du Center for Advanced Hindsight. Grâce à sa recherche et à ses expériences, il interroge les forces qui influencent le comportement humain et les manières irrationnelles qui guident notre comportement et nos choix plus souvent que ce que l’on pourrait penser Virginie Guyot Talk / ​Confiance et leadership au service de la performance collective Ex-​pilote de chasse de l'armée de l'air française, ​Virginie Guyot se consacre désormais au conseil aux entreprises. Elle y partage son expérience de ce métier de l'extrême où l'individu est au service du collectif. Elle nous livre également les conseils pour les entrepreneurs qui se décourageraient et encourage les femmes qui veulent entreprendre à oser se lancer. Kevin Kelly Talk /​ ​The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future Robots, data, tracking, réalité virtuelle... Kevin Kelly, “best-selling author” selon le New York Times, décrit les mécanismes de ces forces en puissance avec une précision déconcertante. Loin des dystopies, il nous propose une feuille de route stratégique pour guider nos choix professionnels, sociaux et humains. Visionnaire, réaliste et résolument optimiste. Moran Cerf Talk / ​The Ultimate Virtual Reality: the Simulated World Our Brain Generates for Us Selon les dernières découvertes en neurosciences, nos sens ne perçoivent qu’une partie du monde qui nous entoure. Ancien hacker et agent des services secrets israéliens, Moran Cerf a voulu décrypter les mécanismes de nos neurones avec la minutie d’un ingénieur. Son travail en collaboration avec des neurochirurgiens lui a permis d’explorer notre boîte noire de l’intérieur, en y implantant directement des électrodes. En bref, de hacker notre cerveau ! Cédric Villani Talk / ​Naissance d’une idée Cédric Villani est un mathématicien français au look dandy qui détonne, il est directeur de l'Institut Henri-Poincaré de l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie et professeur à l'université Claude-Bernard-Lyon-I. Il reçoit la médaille Fields en 2010. Plus récemment, il a fait parler de lui par sa volonté de faire prendre conscience au Parlement des données, des systèmes de protection numérique et de l'intelligence artificielle. Mark Esposito Talk / ​Understanding the Future as it Unfolds: The Power of Megatrends Mark Esposito est enseignant à la Harvard University Extension School et à Grenoble Ecole de Management. Il co-dirige le programme de microéconomie pour la compétitivité à Harvard Business School. Il a aussi fondé le « Lab-Center for Competitiveness », un think-tank spécialisé sur les grandes thématiques du développement économique. Considéré comme un expert de la complexité économique, il a conseillé le Président du Parlement européen sur l'analyse systémique de la crise financière. Leila Janah Talk / ​Give Work: Building an equitable economic future through technology Pionnière de l’Impact Sourcing, Leila Janah s’est donnée pour mission d’endiguer la pauvreté mondiale et de former les populations défavorisées aux métiers du Web. Celle qui se définit comme « une idéaliste » n’a pas hésité à tout plaquer pour fonder et diriger Samasource et LXMI. Deux organisations sociales récemment recensées parmi les entreprises les plus innovantes par Fast Company. On compte parmi ses clients eBay, Google, Yahoo, TripAdvisor, SalesForce ... Susan Weinschenk Talk /​The Future of Human-Technology Interaction Le Machine learning, la robotique et la réalité virtuelle sont bien là. Des décisions éthiques et cruciales sont prises, et seront réalisées dans un avenir proche (3-5 ans), ce qui façonnera les interactions entre les machines et les hommes pour les années à venir. Susan Weinschenk partage des idées et des connaissances pour aiguiller les décisions qui seront prises à ce sujet. Tim Urban Talk / ​Cooks and Chefs: what it means to be a true original? Tim est l'auteur de dizaines d'articles viraux sur des sujets allant de la raison pour laquelle nous procrastinons à pourquoi nous n'avons pas encore rencontré des formes de vie extraterrestres. Lors d’USI, il reviendra sur la notion “d’être original”, qui commence là où l’on prend conscience que les femmes et les hommes qui ont construit ce monde “ne sont pas plus intelligents que vous et moi”. Son site ​Wait, But Why a dépassé 10 millions de visiteurs uniques au cours des derniers mois et a attiré des milliers de clients, y compris des fans célèbres comme Elon Musk, CEO de Tesla, l’actuel curateur de TED Chris Anderson et Evan Williams, co-fondateur TED et de Twitter. John Maeda Talk / ​Redesigning leadership Diplômé du MIT et d’un doctorat en art, John Maeda est l’un des pionniers de la convergence entre technologie et design. Au cœur de sa philosophie : la simplicité et l’élégance. Une approche qu’il consacre aussi bien à sa vision de la technologie qu’à celle l’entreprise et du leadership. Se débarrasser de la complexité, faire émerger la diversité, l’émotion, ne pas avoir peur de l’échec… Et si le secret du leadership était de penser comme un designer ? Aurélie Jean Talk / ​C-Level: devenez des décideurs éclairés en apprenant à coder Aurélie Jean est chercheuse en biomécanique numérique. Elle sensibilise les minorités (notamment les jeunes filles) à la programmation, avec pour objectif de diminuer le gender gap. Elle a récemment participé à la campagne #ILookLikeanEngineer sur les réseaux sociaux et a lancé une nouvelle plateforme numérique nommée Patronne.co à destination des femmes professionnelles connectées. - Programmation / à retrouver également ​- #Intelligence L’IA est-elle en passe de devenir un allié ou une menace pour notre vie privée, pour les professionnels, et pour notre humanité ? C’est à cette vaste question que Nick Bostrom et Kevin Kelly tenteront de répondre en exposant chacun leur vision, tantôt commune tantôt divergente notamment sur la question de la superintelligence. ● Nick Bostrom : Philosophe et auteur spécialisée en intelligence artificielle. ● Kevin Kelly : Co-fondateur du magazine Wired, Auteur, Futuriste. #Humans L’humain se définit aussi à travers ses expériences, aussi nouvelles soient-elles. Il ne s’agit pas de remplacer l’Homme ou d’améliorer forcément ses performances, mais de comprendre comment ce dernier fonctionne, jusqu’aux tréfonds de son cerveau. ● Moran Cerf : Scientifique et professeur de neuroscience et d'affaires à la Kellogg School of Management. ● Laurent Alexandre : Chirurgien-urologue français, expert en nanotechnologies. #Theories Comment les sciences, les arts, le monde qui nous entoure, inspirent l’Homme ? En marge des innovations technologiques, ces speakers nous rappellent que le futur prend sa source dans nos acquis, et que les innovations s’inspirent les unes des autres. ● Cédric Villani : Mathématicien français, Directeur de l’Institut Henri-Poincaré et de l’Université Pierre et Marie Curie, médaille Fields en 2010. ● Etienne Klein : Physicien, directeur de recherches au CEA et docteur en philosophie des sciences​. #Economy Les nouvelles technologies influent sur l’économie de mille manières. Mark Esposito et Nicolas Bouzou viendront démontrer qu’entre nouveaux business models solidaires, innovation et cybersécurité, les perspectives d’évolutions économiques sont nombreuses et peuvent, grâce à l’écosystème digital, trouver un nouvel équilibre. ● Mark Esposito : Professeur d'affaires, et de stratégie économique et compétitivité à l'Université Harvard et à la Grenoble School of Management. ● Nicolas Bouzou : Essayiste français libéral spécialisé dans l’économie. #Behaviour Comment un comportement teinté de peur ou d’irrationalité peut-il forger notre personne, nous aider à avancer et à tirer le meilleur de nous-même ? C’est ce que tenteront de nous expliquer ces deux speakers, avec des retours d’expérience poignants.

  • Short Bio Moran Cerf Is a Neuroscientist and Business Professor at the Kellogg School of Management and the Neuroscience Program
    Short bio Moran Cerf is a neuroscientist and business professor at the Kellogg School of Management and the neuroscience program at Northwestern university. Dr. Cerf is also a member of the institute on complex systems. In his work, Prof. Cerf helps individuals and businesses harness the current knowledge of the brain to improve thinking and understanding of customers and business decisions. His academic research uses methods from neuroscience to understand the underlying mechanisms of our psychology, behavior changes, emotion, decision making and dreams. His works address questions such as: "How are conscious percepts formed in our brain?", "How can we control our emotions?" and “How can we make content that is engaging for the brain?" Recently, his research has addressed questions pertaining to the neural mechanisms that underlie decision-making, thereby offering a new perspective on predicting future choices and investigating how much free will we have in our decisions. In his acclaimed work, Prof. Cerf studies patients undergoing brain-surgery by recording the activity of individual nerve cells using electrodes implanted in the patient's brain. Thus, his work offers a novel way to understand our psyche by observing the brain directly from within. Dr. Cerf holds a Ph.D in neuroscience from Caltech, an MA in Philosophy and a B.Sc in Physics from Tel- Aviv University. He holds multiple patents and his works have been published in wide-circulation academic journals such as Nature and Journal of Neuroscience, as well as popular science journals such as Scientific American Mind, Wired, New Scientist and more.

  • Using Single-Neuron Recording in Marketing: Opportunities, Challenges, and an Application to Fear Enhancement in Communications
    MORAN CERF, ERIC GREENLEAF, TOM MEYVIS, and VICKI G. MORWITZ This article introduces the method of single-neuron recording in humans to marketing and consumer researchers. First, the authors provide a general description of this methodology, discuss its advantages and disadvantages, and describe findings from previous single-neuron human research. Second, they discuss the relevance of this method for marketing and consumer behavior and, more specifically, how it can be used to gain insights into the areas of categorization, sensory discrimination, reactions to novel versus familiar stimuli, and recall of experiences. Third, they present a study designed to illustrate how single-neuron studies are conducted and how data from them are processed and analyzed. This study examines people’s ability to up- regulate (i.e., enhance) the emotion of fear, which has implications for designing effective fear appeals. The study shows that the firing rates of neurons previously shown to respond selectively to fearful content increased with emotion enhancement instructions, but only for a video that did not automatically evoke substantial fear. The authors discuss how the findings help illustrate which conclusions can and cannot be drawn from single-neuron research. Keywords: neuroscience, emotions, consumer communication, fear appeals, climate change Online Supplement: http://dx.doi.org/10.1509/jmr.13.0606 Using Single-Neuron Recording in Marketing: Opportunities, Challenges, and an Application to Fear Enhancement in Communications Neuroscience has become an increasingly popular consumer researchers.
