As #VivaTech wraps up, one key insight stands out : #AI is no longer confined to labs. It’s becoming visible, tangible, and useful. #Health, #energy, emergency services, creativity, #robotics... here are 5 demos that show how technology can improve our lives: 1. Vision 4Rescue – Software République An AI platform that connects drones, vehicles, and urban infrastructure to accelerate emergency response. A collaborative project (Renault, Thales, Orange…) with one goal: saving lives, more efficiently. 2. Spotscan + Skin Coach – La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Dermatologique An AI-powered skin diagnosis tool, combined with a digital coach to tailor skincare routines. A personalized, preventive, and accessible approach to #health. 3. Energy Optimization – ENGIE AI now manages energy networks to reduce consumption, boost efficiency, and lower carbon impact. A major step forward for the ecological transition. 4. Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Real-time translation, photos, voice interaction: these connected glasses feature embedded AI to make everyday life smoother—hands-free, screen-free. A leap toward invisible, natural technology. 5. Agile Robots – Unitree Robotics Autonomous quadruped robots able to navigate complex environments. Useful in logistics, security, and assistance—they represent a human-centric approach to robotics. These are just a few examples among dozens of initiatives spotted at Viva Technology. Concrete, useful, and sometimes jaw-dropping demonstrations that show how AI can integrate into everyday life, public services, the ecological transition, and healthcare. 👏 Thanks to Jonathan B. for sharing his insights!
