## Three Core Skills Covered in One Morning

1. **01 · Steer AI (`Piloter l’IA`) — See AI learn, then learn to lead it**:
   - Hands-on training with autonomous **AlphAI** robots designed by a CNRS neuroscience researcher, culminating in an autonomous robot race.
   - Makes abstract AI concepts tangible: perception, supervised/reinforcement learning, decision-making, and failure modes.
   - **Outcome**: Knowing what AI can do, what it cannot do, and when it gets it wrong—from expert systems to generative and agentic AI.
2. **02 · Secure AI (`Sécuriser l’IA`) — Protect data, systems, and human oversight**:
   - Through real-world incidents (including autonomous AI agents and shadow AI usage), participants analyze data leakage, security vulnerabilities, ethical stakes, and governance.
   - **Outcome**: Spotting risks before they cost the organization and knowing which questions to ask internal teams and external AI vendors.
3. **03 · Launch an AI Project (`Lancer un projet IA`) — Assess organizational readiness before investing**:
   - Participants apply **Saclai’s AI Readiness Grid** (inspired by research from the MIT Digital Supply Chain Transformation Lab: I. Borrella, M. J. Saenz, E. Revilla) across three pillars:
     1. **Digital capabilities (`Capacités numériques`)**: Are your data, systems, and tools ready for AI?
     2. **Actors (`Acteurs`)**: Are your leaders and teams ready to adopt and supervise AI?
     3. **Processes (`Processus`)**: Are your processes standardized and visible enough for AI?
   - **Outcome**: Leaving with a concrete first business use case evaluated across all three readiness pillars.
