AI and digital trust will define the next decade. My mission: build bridges between Europe, APAC, and North America to scale innovation that matters.

[Stéphane Gervais | ApexTransform @SGervaisAI]

I've launched @ApexTransformAI for practical analysis on AI strategy, digital trust and technology scale-up.

I'll keep sharing my personal perspective here. The new account will focus on executive frameworks, tools and ApexTransform insights.

[Stéphane Gervais | ApexTransform @SGervaisAI]

AI evolves continuously. Assurance evidence often doesn't.

NirmatAI uses AI to map evidence to requirements, identify gaps and support expert assessments.

Not replacing human judgment. Making assurance more scalable.

Power limits AI factories. Networking determines productivity.

At NVIDIA GTC Berlin, Gilad Shainer highlighted a key shift:

Tokens per watt measure efficiency.
Cost per authorized task measures enterprise value.

AI must deliver both.

“Everybody is concerned about safety.” Jensen Huang at #GTCBerlin.

@NVIDIA : AI safety must be enforced at the infrastructure layer.

But limiting what an AI agent can do doesn't prove who authorized it to act.

Trust requires both.

At NVIDIA GTC Berlin, Jensen Huang outlined the next frontier: Physical AI.

Secure autonomous systems, intelligent telecom networks, self-driving cars and robotics.

The challenge: making AI not just powerful, but trustworthy.

Responsible optimism.

My analysis of NVIDIA's strategy to become the infrastructure of Physical AI:

[Stéphane Gervais | ApexTransform @SGervaisAI]

NVIDIA's first chip was built in France.

At #GTCBerlin, Jensen Huang highlighted $10B invested in Europe's AI ecosystem, 14 new startup investments and new platforms for industrial AI.

The real prize isn't the robot. It's the architecture beneath it.

Can Europe lead?

[Stéphane Gervais | ApexTransform @SGervaisAI]

Should we pause AI?

@GaryShapiro’s point at CES Trends today was compelling: if responsible players pause, bad actors won’t.

The answer is not less AI, but safer, more secure and better governed AI.

And we should consider the cost of slowing progress, especially in healthcare

[Stéphane Gervais | ApexTransform @SGervaisAI]

AI strategy doesn’t fail because of a lack of ideas.

The hard part is deciding where AI can actually create value.

I built the ApexTransform AI Value Navigator to help leaders identify and prioritize the right AI use cases.

Less hype. Better decisions.
