A transformation already underway
Artificial intelligence is entering work tools, services, education and everyday life across Charleroi.
Opportunities to make practical
AI can support information retrieval, drafting, translation, documentation and administration when it addresses a real, controlled need.
Risks to address early
Data leaks, wrong decisions, misleading content and platform dependence require cybersecurity and data protection from the outset.
Training close to communities
A local space allows jargon-free explanation, demonstrations and workshops adapted to citizens, seniors, young people and professionals.
Support for startups and SMEs
Small organisations need initial guidance to frame uses, compare solutions, secure access and prototype without exposing data.
Controlled infrastructure
Lightweight infrastructure for supervised training, demonstrations and prototyping can present open models without becoming a public cloud or commercial data centre.
IBCSC’s role
As a non-profit, IBCSC can raise awareness, train, document, support and convene partners without replacing authorities or specialised advisers.
Call for partners
The project needs a venue, stable connectivity, equipment, expertise and local networks.
