CEDIAG main applications
ALPIN Expert system for Medical insurance with natural language module for automatic
processing of medical reports;
NOEMIE Configuration system for Bull computers
Diagnosis and help desk for customer support,
KRONES configuration support system and diagnosis for bottle-washing engines
Danish Customs’ decision support system for interpretation of ECC regulations. A similar system
was later developed for Argentina Customs.

What we learnt ?
Knowledge is relative to human
Human is complex
Human have to deal with complex systems

Context of AI since 1996
• Name : AI or computational intelligence ?
• AI promised to much ?
• AI inside is not AI ?
Decision support systems for technical and medical
diagnosis, help desk, maintenance, scheduling,
optimization, risk analysis, process control, traffic
control
design, advisory systems, software..
Solutions are mainly software, we can do better

Opportunity for AI
• Internet : Information overload, lot of data
e-services, e-business, e-learning, e-government, m-ware,
content design and search …without AI,
• Knowledge Management is about Knowledge ! (k transfert,
sharing, finding, learning, innovation)
lack of feedback from AI applications and ..reinventing the
wheel
• Mondialization : complex problem to solve, cultures, access
to collective K, RT translation
ICT : What is missing ? I

AI = different thinking

AI Today
Integration of existing techniques (but nothing
really new since 20 years)
–

–
–
Knowledge Discovery from multimedia documents
Semantic web (ontology, NLP, MAS, ANN)
Collective intelligence for MAS
Artificial life (understanding brain is to difficult ?)
Hybrid solutions (soft) for complex problems (text
mining, automatic indexing and retrieval..)
– Intuitive HMI
– Computer graphics, VR, immersion, simulation
– Co-design

C3PO and R2D2
from Star Wars
Some inspirations
• Leonardo da Vinci, Jules Verne, Isaac Asimow,
Lew Bobrow, Stanislaw Lem…
• AI, Minority report, Star Wars
• More human robot ? Johny 5 from Short Circuit
• More powerful human ? Extension of biological
capability as Jake Foley…

Customer Success
Technology replaced person-to-person interactions with
person-to-machine…
Technology requires the synergy of individuals, machines and
social organizations and depends profoundly both on an
understanding of nature - on science - and on the capability to
design.
Virtually every human activity - agriculture, commerce,
education, health care, warfare, industry and more - depends
directly or indirectly on our interactions as individuals with
society and machines.

My vision
In my vision, connected human knowledge cultivators
work in perfect synergy with the artificial
knowledge processors.
They learn from each other.
Computers help people by performing the tasks
difficult or impossible for human to do…
in the world where the biological, social and machine
components are well balanced, are sustainable
indefinitely without destroying the environment,
and enhance the human condition.

capacity and intelligence
• Organizational
• Society

Individual level
• Intelligent assistant able to
• Find relevant information and knowledge on demand
and push
• Understand documents/emails, make un abstract
• Manage my documents, files, emails using my logic
• NL dialog and capability of RT translation
• Optimize tasks (travel, shopping, event..)
• access and intelligent navigation in the world
knowledge bases (scientific, music, sport,)

21
Entreprise/Organizational level
The same capacity as for individual +
• Effective management of innovation process
Computers are considered as a source of K
• Sharing the learned knowledge relevant to a given
point-of-view with relevant people
• Effective management of intellectual capital, “who
knows what, who needs to know what, and how to
learn what is needed”
• Support for “business intelligence”: finding and
checking relevant information

education, call centers…)
• Intelligent connections between enterprises,
university and investors 3P

games, travel guides and tips, VR visit of
monuments with interaction (touch, smell…)
• Intelligent banking services
• Bank of knowledge and experience (health…)
• Services for older people
• Health services

• Better use of computer capacity (K thinking
approach)
• More collective, multi-domain and multi-cultural
intelligence (1+1=11) instead of competition
• Intuitive software
• HM natural communication
• RT translation

25
Challenges for AI
• The Convergence of bio- info- and nanotechniques (human spare parts) ?
• Extension of biological capabilities ?
• Global Innovation Support Systems
• New ways for communication
• Better conservation and use of past
knowledge and experience
• Contribution to the Sustainable Knowledge
Society
• More of fun
