Steve Jarrett Speaks about Data Democracy at the WebConf 2022

Breaking silos and building a Data Democracy is the title of Steve Jarrett's talk at this year's Webconf, held April 25-29 in Lyon.

Orange has been conducting research for many years in various artificial intelligence (AI) fields (Voice Recognition, NLP, Video Encoding, etc.) as well as in Data Science which led to some significant improvements in our services and products. But as many other companies, Orange now needs to scale its data and AI adoption to drive its business. Orange is now more than ever committed to this data and AI transformation journey.

In this talk, Steve will explain that Orange aims to reach a new level in this transformation of the Group by positioning data and AI at the heart of its innovation model. One of the big challenges that the company is facing is to have data and AI considered as a commonwealth: it’s about breaking silos and democratize access to data and AI. To accelerate this, Orange has signed some strong partnerships and deployed extensive trainings to enable employee upskilling and reskilling.

Steve will also share his thoughts on how to implement this data democracy through DataGovOps. Then, he will give some examples of our high impact use cases around smarter networks, improved operational efficiency and re-invented customer experience.
