At VivaTech in Paris, companies are pitching their visions for artificial intelligence, from AI agents to workplace automation tools. But here’s the kicker: French IT consulting firm Capgemini is raising a vital question — can companies really make AI work “at scale”? The company’s AI chief, Brier, expressed that while many things will be done differently with AI, it doesn’t necessarily mean people will be thrown out of their jobs. “We might do things differently,” he explained, “but that doesn’t mean we’re getting rid of people.”
Brier emphasized the importance of establishing “human-AI chemistry,” or trust, between individuals and AI systems. He asserted, “There is no way a technology can be successful if you don’t build that trust.” It’s all about creating an environment where workers feel comfortable with what AI can do for them. Initially, fear often accompanies new technologies entering the workplace, but as employees begin to see the benefits, excitement tends to replace anxiety.
When it comes to physical AI, which includes robots and machines using AI to operate in the real world, Brier believes regulations are crucial for fostering a “harmonious” environment where humans and machines can safely coexist. He pointed out that the focus of these regulations should be on human protection and emergency controls, especially mechanisms that allow for an immediate stop to a robot if things go awry. “You have to have humans, machines, and robots coexisting in the same environment,” he said. “That’s why you need some regulations.”
However, Brier also stated that physical AI is still in its infancy. Unlike generative AI, which has rapidly integrated into various sectors, physical AI will take longer to spread since it involves real-world applications. “Nobody currently is running fleets of hundreds of robots,” he highlighted. He called for progressive regulations that adapt to the technology’s evolution, allowing it room to grow.
Right now, Brier believes that the greatest value for companies lies in agentic AI, where AI systems carry out specific tasks and change operational dynamics within businesses. “This is really where AI is changing the way we do operations in a company,” he said, adding that the biggest return on investment will come from this transformation.
Another significant concern for companies is avoiding dependence on a single AI model or provider. Recently, the US government ordered Anthropic to suspend foreign-national access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, leading to the disabling of these models for all customers to ensure compliance. Yet Brier mentioned that sovereignty shouldn’t mean isolating Europe from global technology. “We don’t believe in total sovereignty, which would mean isolation,” he noted. Instead, he suggested looking at sovereignty in terms of business continuity and risk management.
“There are something like 1,000 models available on the market,” he explained. “They vary in size, being either small or big models, and they can be open source or private. They can come from Europe, the US, or China, so there’s plenty to choose from.” The goal, he stressed, is to avoid reliance on a single technology and to always have a “plan B.”
