According to French futurologist Laurent Alexandre “Today, Europe does not control any of the components of AI, whose industrialisation is based on the marriage between the power of computers, the mountains of big data and the neural networks for deep learning”. It is true. Remember that without large amounts of data, the machine learning algorithms, even the most efficient, will be of no use.

These previous years, artificial intelligence algorithms (neural networks) have been brought to the forefront thanks to a hardware computation power increase and the labelling of huge data bases that made possible the pre-training of these algorithms. Thanks to a suitable training on thousands of labelled data, these algorithms can recognize some complex patterns such as animals, cars, bridges, etc.

Sterblue is now deploying its automatic distribution grid inspection solution over two continents (maybe soon three, but shhh no spoilers yet) ! Last week I returned from a ten day trip to the Ivory Coast in order to deploy Sterblue’s solutions to our local customer; African Techno Lab, a partnership company of the CIE (Compagnie Ivoirienne d’Électricité)Africa far away from the clichés.
