On 13 November, mathematician Yves Laszlo and physicist Mathieu Lizée were the first guests at a new series of conferences organised by students and associations at Télécom Paris, focusing on the responses of science and technology to climate change.
They took to the stage to relay their unprecedented call for action to implement a "Manhattan Project for ecological transition", alongside scientists from all walks of life.
Their ambition? A research centre dedicated to ecological transition, working directly with industry to develop breakthrough technologies to decarbonise the economy. According to the International Energy Agency, 40% of the technologies that would enable us to comply with the Paris agreements are not yet mature.

![[Télécom Paris Ideas] Bouclier démocratique #1 Réactiver la démocratie en associant les citoyens
Dans le cadre des élections européennes 2024, Télécom Paris Ideas fait le point sur la régulation des réseaux sociaux et la lutte contre la manipulation en ligne en période électorale.
Télécom Paris s’est engagée auprès de Make.org dans la conception d’un Bouclier Démocratique, pour mieux protéger les prochaines élections européennes de ces manipulations via l’IA.
Axel Dauchez, CEO de Make.Org est à l’origine du Bouclier démocratique. Après avoir alerté sur le risque létal de l’IA pour la démocratie et des menaces pour le processus électoral à venir, il nous présente les principales mesures du Bouclier.

Avec Pietro Gori, maître de conférences en IA et imagerie médicale à Télécom Paris.
Quelles promesses porte l’intelligence artificielle dans le traitement de l’imagerie médicale ? Les enjeux pour accéder à la data sont considérables, pour entraîner les algorithmes d’IA et faire progresser l’identification et la recherche sur les maladies.

Le migrant connecté a fait son entrée en juin 2023 au Musée national de lhistoire de l’immigration, à l’occasion de sa réouverture. Cest une reconnaissance du travail académique de Dana Diminescu, dont les recherches, au croisement des sciences humaines, de lart et du numérique, portent sur cette nouvelle figure du migrant. Trois œuvres sont exposées dans la collection permanente du musée. Nous vous proposons une visite guidée et une mise en perspective avec Dana Diminescu !

![[Télécom Paris Ideas] The carbon footprint of researchers in theoretical computer science and AI
Antoine Amarillis research focuses on theoretical computer science, but he also sometimes takes the side roads. For example, he is committed to the climate and points out that, in computer-related disciplines, the evaluation model for researchers is still strongly correlated with their travel to international conferences, with a high carbon footprint as a result.

![[Ideas] Intelligent wind turbines for optimised energy production
Elie Kadoche, PhD candidate at the Information Processing and Communication Laboratory at Télécom Paris, talks to us about digital technology serving the energy transition, and more specifically about the subject of his thesis on intelligent wind turbines for optimised energy production.
He was able to sum it up in three minutes, winning 3rd prize from the jury of the French national My thesis in 180 seconds competition, out of 16 finalists. He had previously won the IP Paris regional final.
He is working on control algorithms for optimising large wind farms.
In this video, he explains how the use and development of a reinforcement learning method enables wind turbines to orientate themselves in relation to the wind. [Ideas] Intelligent wind turbines for optimised energy production](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d65dNYuDnT0/mqdefault.jpg)

![[Ideas] Innovation in chaotic encryption of infrared optical communications
In spring 2024, a research team from the LTCI laboratory at Télécom Paris, led by Télécom Paris, took up the challenge of free-space optical transmission security by demonstrating a chaos-based encryption method, and proved the applicability of this system over a distance of 30 metres in the far infrared.
The team demonstrated private optical communication in free space based on chaos synchronisation in one of the atmospheres transparency windows. The chaotic light generated by a long-wave infrared quantum cascade laser is used to conceal the transmitted message, which is then decrypted using a double quantum cascade laser, thus guaranteeing greater confidentiality. This approach has an impact on the development of private transmissions in free space beyond conventional telecommunications networks.
Sara Zaminga, a doctoral student at Télécom Paris, and Frédéric Grillot present this chaos-based encryption method. [Ideas] Innovation in chaotic encryption of infrared optical communications](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dpWsWem47zU/mqdefault.jpg)
