Imagine a scenario where every operational data point of an industry is continuously captured, organized, scalable, and free from cyber threats. This is the concept of IT/OT (Information Technology/Operational Technology) convergence, an evolution where the synergy between data and technology optimizes efficiency, security, and innovation in manufacturing, enabling high-quality data and robust security that support reliable and strategic decisions.

The Artefact Research Center's mission is to foster an innovation ecosystem around AI and data by encouraging collaboration between university professors and representatives of international partner companies. The goal: cutting-edge research driven by data and the industrial applications of its partner companies.

In July 2024, Robin was promoted to CTO of Artefact France for his deep technology expertise and management skills. He now leads a large team of data scientists, software engineers and frontend developers, ensuring that his team is at the forefront of technology, with training and curiosity at the heart of his approach.

AI is rapidly evolving toward a future where users no longer think about models, modes, or tools. Instead, systems are becoming dynamically adaptive—automatically adjusting reasoning depth, selecting the right tools, and managing resources in real time based on task complexity.
