The Société des Experts Chimistes de France (S.E.C.F.), INSA Rouen Normandie and its CFI department are organizing a Scientific and Professional Day (JSP) on Thursday 10 November on the theme of the "Laboratory of the Future". On this occasion, many renowned speakers will propose during their intervention to apprehend the concepts of artificial intelligence (and algorithms more generally) in order to analyze its applications in many fields. Agri-food, energy, chemistry, environment or pharmacy, this meeting will indeed address various sectors, but key, around issues such as :
  • What is artificial intelligence?
  • What can we expect from it?
  • How is it revolutionizing our practices?
  • What are the first achievements?
This JSP is also an opportunity for INSA Rouen and the SECF to gather a large audience. It will allow engineering students, process industry operational managers, product quality and safety managers and researchers to learn more about the concrete applications of neural networks and AI in fields that present many challenges at all scales. The scientific committee is led, on the INSA Rouen side, by Boulos Youssef, Director of the CFI Department, and on the SECF side by Yvon Gervaise, President of Expert Science-Consulting.
