Some slides
Deux présentations données au printemps 2026 dans le cadre d'une formation destinée aux gestionnaires. Elles se suivent, mais chacune se tient seule.
Valorisation des données : le levier essentiel pour une IA performante part d'une question simple: qu'est-ce qu'une donnée en 2026? On y voit pourquoi le coût de la collecte s'est effondré, ce que la qualité des données change au résultat, comment les connecteurs et le RAG branchent un modèle sur vos propres documents, puis cinq cas concrets.
De la donnée à l'action : l'IA au service de la décision stratégique prend la suite. Elle traite de ce que l'IA débloque pour la décision, des pièges qui font échouer la majorité des projets, et de ce qui sépare un modèle prédictif utile d'un modèle convaincant.
Slides from the Journée d’économie appliquée at Université Laval, where I shared reflections on how AI can reshape economies, societies, and along with it the pipeline of empirical economics. Also, featuring examples of applying machine learning in macro/forecasting research.
