AI & Positive Impact: Four Projects Put to the Test

Four working products built on AI, demonstrated by the people who built them, then argued over: sign language with Mehdi Desmartin of SignBridge, food transparency with Raphaël Bournhonesque of Open Food Facts, content recommendation with Lê Nguyên Hoang of Tournesol, and water-leak detection with Hubert Baya Toda of Leakmited. Run by the Impact & Governance team at 42AI, the student AI association at École 42. Four fifteen-minute demo and Q&A slots, a forty-five-minute panel comparing what actually worked, then open questions. Damogran room, third floor, 96 boulevard Bessières. Free. In French, with English questions welcome. Why go: the demos are of shipped systems with real users, and the panel is explicitly about limitations rather than promise. Best for engineers and product people who want to see impact claims tested in the room.
