Jason Bell

Jason Bell

Jason Bell is a contrarian voice in the AI industry, bringing mathematical rigor to an ecosystem drowning in marketing hype. With two decades of experience in machine learning and data science, he's become the go-to expert for exposing the statistical reality behind AI vendor claims.

His recent LinkedIn post calling "AI hallucination" marketing BS reached 345,000+ views, striking a nerve with developers and data scientists frustrated by industry snake oil. Jason's approach is simple: replace vendor fairy tales with mathematical truth.

Author of "Machine Learning: Hands-on for Developers and Technical Professionals" (Wiley, 2014, 2020), Jason bridges the gap between academic theory and practical implementation. He also contributed to "Machine Learning and the City," exploring ML applications in urban planning and population studies.

Currently developing the STAT Framework (Statistical Truth Assessment Toolkit), Jason helps organisations measure actual AI uncertainty instead of chasing imaginary "hallucination" solutions. The aim, his work saves companies millions by focusing on mathematical reality rather than marketing promises.

Jason actively reviews publication proposals for Wiley and writes for wilmott.com's quantitative finance section. He's known in the developer community for not holding back when calling out industry BS - backed by mathematics that vendors can't argue with.

When he's not demolishing AI marketing myths with probability theory, Jason advises organisations on practical machine learning implementations that actually work.

Philippe Bourgeon

Philippe Bourgeon

Philippe possède une expérience solide de 10 ans en tant que Coach Agile d’Entreprise et de plus 20 ans en tant que Développeur Agile principalement en salles de marchés. Il a contribué à plusieurs programmes d'agilité à l'échelle. Il sait comment catalyser une véritable agilité grâce à son expérience.

En effet l'agilité souffre actuellement d'un trop grand investissement dans les structures organisationnelles et les pratiques associées. Un rééquilibre est possible si nous redonnons du pouvoir à l'humain, à notre capacité à ressentir et à surtout créer du sens, et à nous relier en tant que systèmes humains afin de favoriser la collaboration et de faire émerger des solutions innovantes.

Pour cela, Philippe s'est formé au RSI™ (Intelligence Relationnelle Systémique) et au coaching systémique ORSC™ (Coaching Systémique pour les Organisations et les Relations). Il a expérimenté cette approche lors de ses missions et plus particulièrement lorsqu'il a travaillé avec une équipe de Managers.

Il est également formé pour accompagner des équipes à tous les niveaux d’une organisation et faire évoluer leur leadership. Il a démontré son approche aussi bien avec des équipes Produit dans le Digital que managériales. En faisant grandir le leadership à différents niveaux d’une organisation, ses clients bénéficient de structures performantes alignées avec la culture et la stratégie de l’entreprise.

Aujourd'hui, Philippe traduit le livre d'une des co-fondatrices d'ORSC : "Systems Inspired Leadership" et il est certifié coach systémique ORSC.
