ONE MORNING, THREE SKILLS
From concept to practice.
SECURE
Analyze real AI security failures and spot the risks to your data before they cost you.
LAUNCH
Identify where AI creates value in your organization, and what to prepare before you invest.
01 · STEER AI
See AI learn. Then learn to lead it.
An autonomous robot makes abstract concepts visible: perception, learning, decision. You observe them, test them, then connect them to your business reality.
THE BENEFIT
Knowing what AI can do, what it can’t, and when it gets it wrong.
02 · SECURE AIYour teams already use AI.
Your teams already use AI.
Do you know where your data goes?
Through real cases, including AI agents, you explore the security, data and ethical stakes, and the role humans must keep.
THE BENEFIT
Spotting risks before they cost you, and knowing which questions to ask your teams and your vendors.
03 · LAUNCH AN AI PROJECTBefore you invest,
Before you invest,
know what to prepare.
You identify where AI can create value, then assess whether your organization is ready, across three pillars.
THE BENEFIT
Leaving with a first use case evaluated using Saclai’s AI Readiness grid.
SACLAI AI READINESS GRID
01 ·
Digital capabilities
Are your data, systems and tools ready for AI?
02 ·
Actors
Are your leaders and teams ready to adopt and supervise AI?
03 ·
Processes
Are your processes standardized and visible enough for AI?
Grid inspired by research from the MIT Digital Supply Chain Transformation Lab (I. Borrella, M. J. Saenz, E. Revilla).
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you join us.
Straight answers to help you decide if it is right for you.
01What is the Saclai × Learning Robots workshop?
One morning to build three skills: steering AI by training a robot designed by a CNRS neuroscience researcher, securing it through real cases, and evaluating a first use case with Saclai’s AI Readiness grid.
02Who is this workshop for?
Non-technical executives and managers who have to make decisions about AI: leadership, business units, transformation, HR and learning, innovation.
03Do I need programming skills?
No. There are no technical or coding prerequisites. The workshop is designed for a range of professional backgrounds and centers on guided experimentation.
04What will I do with the robots?
You train an AlphAI robot yourself, then take part in an autonomous robot race. You see first-hand how a machine learns, and when it gets it wrong.
05Does the workshop cover generative AI and agentic AI?
Yes. The workshop traces the path from expert systems to generative and agentic AI, so you can tell them apart. AI agents are also covered in the security block, through real cases.
06How can this workshop help my company adopt AI?
You leave with a first use case evaluated using Saclai’s AI Readiness grid, and the questions to ask your teams and vendors. It does not replace an assessment of your own organization. To build AI DNA across your teams, we also run in-company programmes: contact us.
07Are breakfast and lunch included?
Yes. Breakfast on arrival and the networking lunch are included.
08Can a company register several participants?
Yes. You can register several participants in a single booking by choosing the number of seats in the registration form.
