About Me
Currently Executive Director of the Confiance AI industrial consortium, Marie-Pierre Habas-Gerard comes from Quantum Chemistry R&D as a PhD and postdoctoral fellow. She has added 24 years of consulting experience to her academic background, including roles as a program director in digital transformation, head of AI practices, and as an entrepreneur and Partner in a Montreal startup in 2018.
Her approach to AI is pragmatic and committed: AI must be applied to the business challenges of industries and must be a growth driver for our Quebec and Canadian SMEs. Ethical and trust issues are intrinsically linked to the implementation and adoption of AI. The need to go beyond AI R&D and bring together a diverse and multidisciplinary group of industrialists around shared use cases is clear to her. Capable of uniting and bridging the gap between industry and academia, its objective is to deploy the AI Trust model and integrate key players around pre-competitive tools and methods for qualifying and quantifying trustworthyness AI.
