AI governance in manufacturing: how to set the framework without killing momentum? — Panel discussion at Tech For Industry Show 2026 (Paris Expo Porte de Versailles), featuring Carole Barkatz, Mathieu Cura, Marine de Cézac, Jean-Christophe Nebout.
When an apprentice builds an AI application in 24 hours but production deployment takes 6 months, how do you manage the tension between individual initiatives and the company's collective vision? After Shadow IT comes Shadow AI: this candid panel confronts the field experience of manufacturers and a software provider.
Key topics: Michelin's "digital rules" defining a framework of autonomy for its plants, governed citizen development (including the story of an app that cost €50,000 in a single weekend), cybersecurity stakes — penetration tests that startups systematically fail —, cloud cost control, and talent attraction as consumer technology now outpaces the shop floor.
The shared conclusion: the technology is ready; governance, skills and culture determine success.
