Interview: what are the challenges of personal data protection on voice interfaces?
The success of voice search and voice assistants is now well-established. The trend is growing steadily, with users choosing en masse to make their daily lives easier by using devices such as Alexa, Siri or Google. But this popularity also makes it necessary to consider the security of the personal data – and voiceprints – collected by these devices. Yann Lechelle is the operations director of the company Snips, which offers a voice assistant solution that respects personal data. We asked him a few questions on the occasion of his presentation on November 30th at the Digital Tech Conference in Rennes.

Yael Rozencwajg: on the cutting edge of digital food
An unusual profile such as that of Yael Rozencwajg is born out of years of wandering, or out of serendipity – the art of discovering something without really seeking it out, but without leaving everything to chance, by seizing opportunities when they present themselves.
That is how Yael Rozencwajg has operated. After 15 years of assisting major accounts with digitization, she turned her attention to blockchain, artificial intelligence and her first love: connected objects. She chose to focus on digital food, one of the three key topics of the 2018 Digital Tech Conference.
What future for Digital Love?
