A conference: Understanding AI and its opportunities
Three speakers took the floor for an hour and a half:
Romuald Rat, Director of Techlab & AI, outlined the day's activities. His speech focused on three points: the deployment of medIAGen (see below), training and the publication of an Intranet page dedicated to AI.
Christophe de Vallambras, head of the MediaLab de l'information, explained how France Télévisions has co-authored a mapping of the challenges and uses of generative AI for journalism. The aim is to establish, for the first time, a common basis for reflection among public broadcasting newsrooms. This document, coordinated and piloted by INA, was designed with contributions and review by the editorial and digital teams of France Télévisions, Radio France, France Médias Monde, TV5Monde and INA.
Jean-Baptiste Kempf, Chairman of VideoLan, creator of VLC, CTO of Scaleway gave his views on AI, sovereignty, human expertise and changes in the workplace.
A masterclass: How to prompt
In the age of ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral and Claude, France Télévisions provides all its employees with medIAGen, a secure platform centralizing these four generative AIs. This masterclass enabled participants to master the art of prompting and adapt to this digital revolution.
Hosted by Pauline Maury, Head of the Data & AI Department
Booths
- Media transcription in news production tools helps documentalists, journalists and editors. AI makes it possible to transform video audio into text with great precision.
- medIAGen is a ChatGPT-type conversational agent, enabling the full potential of generative AI to be exploited while minimizing the associated risks. France Télévisions has developed an in-house tool adapted to its needs, while preventing the leakage of sensitive corporate data..
- Subtitling franceinfo: AI provides a high-performance solution for automatically subtitling the franceinfo channel. Read our article: franceinfo TV channel extends the subtitling of its live to the whole day thanks to artificial intelligence!
- Raiponse is an HR assistant that answers Human Resources questions from France Télévisions employees. Facilitating access to HR information, Raiponse provides answers on more than 175 different HR topics, some of which are personalized to the employee's context (geographical area, profession...).
In March 2025, Raiponse was equipped with generative artificial intelligence. It uses OpenAI's GPT4 LLM (Large Language Model) to understand and generate a natural language response. This has enabled it to learn and understand numerous documents, improve its understanding of the questions it is asked, and interact more dynamically with employees. Raiponse received the Digital HR Award in 2022. - Similarly, a conversational assistant (ChatBot) has been developed in-house to assist the 3,000 or so people who use the new NRCS (NewsRoom Computer System) tool. This device, accessible via a web page, provides answers to questions frequently asked by users. It will shortly be integrated into OpenMedia (NRCS tool).
- AI and misinformation On this booth, various technical solutions were presented, using artificial intelligence to authenticate videos.
- The Université de France Télévisions presented various training courses on data and AI, as well as brand-new e-learning modules (2 available and 5 to be released). Visitors could also test their knowledge with a quiz.
