AI governance : A cybersecurity matter first and foremost
Artificial intelligence has entered a new phase that now directly concerns CISOs. No longer merely an innovation topic, it has become a new risk domain to manage — one that cuts across the information system, business functions, and the supplier chain. First reality: AI is spreading rapidly, often outside existing security frameworks.Use cases are multiplying […]
Anthropomorphic AI: international legislative framework, risks, and governance
Anthropomorphic artificial intelligence systems are developing rapidly across many digital environments. Conversational companions, avatars, voice assistants, or relational chatbots are designed to simulate human traits such as empathy, personality, or relation continuity. By introducing an emotional and social dimension into interaction, these systems profoundly transform the relationship between users and technology. This evolution nevertheless raises specific issues in terms of protection of individuals, risk management, and liability, as well as significant risks when these tools are used by vulnerable populations or in sensitive contexts. This article aims to clarify the notion of anthropomorphic AI, to present the main risks associated with these systems, and to analyze the first structuring regulatory responses, notably those formalized by China and the […]
AI Act: what legal regime for open-source general-purpose AI models?
The AI Act establishes a harmonised legal framework applicable to AI systems as well as to general-purpose AI models (General Purpose AI – GPAI), that is, AI models trained using a large amount of data through large-scale self-supervision, capable of being integrated into a wide variety of systems and of performing a wide range of […]
AI Agents: sectoral uses, opportunities, and risks to be managed
Since 2023, AI agents have moved from the experimental stage to operational uses across many sectors: finance, healthcare, industry, human resources, and public services. Capable of acting autonomously or semi-autonomously, these agents promise significant gains in productivity and performance. However, this increased autonomy comes with legal, ethical, operational, and cybersecurity risks, making a structured approach to their governance and management essential. 1. What is an AI agent? Definition and recent evolution AI agents, in their common understanding, refer to AI system software with specific characteristics: AI agents relate to the concept of agency, that is, a system’s ability to: Example: an AI agent may be an automated assistant tasked with sorting incoming emails. It analyzes each message, identifies its category (sales, support, urgent), and then applies the appropriate action, such as archiving or ticket creation. It thus performs a specific task, defined in advance, without exceeding the scope of this role. The emergence of frameworks such as AutoGPT (2023), LangGraph (2024), or agents integrated into cloud suites (Microsoft Copilot, Google Agentspace) has accelerated the […]
