Founder of Optic and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Human Technology Foundation, as well as a member of the Conseil National du Numérique (CNNum), Dominican priest Éric Salobir occupies a unique position at the intersection of religion, technology and entrepreneurship. He shares his views on his commitment to putting people at the heart of technological development and his open and constructive approach to the dialogue between religion and technology in his interview with Le Dauphiné Libéré published on January 31.
"I'm more of a techno optimist, but I'm not a techno blissful. The more powerful the technology, the more cautious we need to be."
"For me, AI, data and the cloud are anything but virtual. Behind it, there are important economic, environmental and geopolitical realities. Those who understand them are the ones who will emerge winners from this evolution."
"He [Pope] doesn't want to reduce man to his data. With generative AI, he doesn't want man to build a new Tower of Babel that would result in a form of impoverishment, whereas diversity is a richness."
- Éric Salobir, founder of Optic and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Human Technology Foundation as well as a member of CNNum.
