IE Master Class – “Artificial Intelligence: How it transforms business and what is to come next.”

Posted on

Given by Konstantina Valogianni an Assistant Professor in Information Systems at IE Business School.

Artificial Intelligence has disrupted the way companies do business. Despite the proven benefits of AI, industries have adopted AI in different ways and with different speed and commitment. Nonetheless, terms like Deep Learning or even more arcane ones like Deep Reinforcement Learning are becoming more frequent in managerial conversations. AI experts are becoming the emergent “gate-keepers” of AI-driven business models. This masterclass was aimed at establishing an understanding of the main AI concepts, showcasing what AI can do for organizations. We also explored the boundaries of AI and highlight the role of humans in this 4th Industrial Revolution.

IE Master Class – “The Metaverse : The Winner takes it all.”

Lyon & Paris

Given by Professor Manuel Lopez Martín de Blas, an MBA professional with more than 25 years of consultancy experience in Pharma, Hi-Tech, Chemical, Retail, and FMCG industries

The “metaverse” as announced by Facebook is a set of virtual spaces where you can create and explore with other people who aren’t in the same physical space as you. Movies like Matrix or Ready Player One brought a glimpse of a digital universe. The implications are huge, and the opportunities are just beginning to show.

The session focused on the potential benefits and threats of the Facebook metaverse, (economic, social, political, etc.), where a first-mover will take all and create a parallel digital world.

The New Jobs in Architecture

Posted on

M. Joseph Freiha had the honour to moderate a great panel with Odile DECQ founder of Confluence Institute for Innovation and Creative Strategies in Architecture and Cristina Mateo Rebollo, Executive Director of IE School of Architecture and Design, which took place at the START fair organized by Le Monde.
As Cristina and Odile explained, Architects are the Strategists of the future. Their trained curiosity and creativity allows them to always be on the forefront of life in Society, whether conceiving an object, a building or a city.
It is very interesting to see how these two avant-garde schools are constantly creating and adapting ways we teach Architecture, “for 21st Century Students…” among which 60% of women, in a profession which was considered not so far ago, a man’s world.

Thank you Cristina and Odile for these great insights and see you next Saturday for the next conference around Studying in Spain.

“How is Blockchain shaking up the start-up industry?”

Posted on

Since its inception by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, Blockchain applications have evolved from the niche world of cryptography researchers and coders to the spotlights of skyrocketing cryptocurrencies valuations. The unforeseen rush on Initial Coin Offerings, as a new form of fundraising for startups, has completely reshuffled the traditional financing ecosystem to the point where venture capitalists’ model is being questioned. At a higher level, financial institutions and governments struggle to classify this new asset class.

Thanks a lot for the great talk Alexandre BUSSUTIL around startup financing, blockchain and cryptocurrencies. It is incredible how things are moving fast, with all the risks and opportunities that come up. We are living in a high-speed era…mesmerizing!
