–> Yohan Ralle, IA Project Manager at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, spoke at Artefact’s IA morning (see our paper). In particular, he highlighted an important piece of information that remained under the media radar: after ChatGPT was banned in Italian on March 31 (see here), the local CNIL turned to Open AI after a video call on April 5. And this total reversal was not relayed by the media. “The agency has taken note of the fact that training these models requires personal data that cannot be anonymised.

It’s about differentiation through exclusive demand (types of campaigns, data + media packages) The Connected TV area is new. In France, The Trade Desk and Xandr are multiplying their links with the main advertising agencies (TF1 Pub, France TV Pub, M6 Pub) to enable the purchase of segmented TV today and TV of all types tomorrow. The new war boils down to this question: Why add 10-15% fees to increase productivity when you can do (more or less the same thing) from an SSP?
