Short Presentation
Founder of the Deep tech Xvaluator in 2015 whose innovation is already recognized by peers (patent, several scientific articles including in Springer) in the field of developments in qualification models in interdependence with innovation models and economic models, especially towards an economy of functionality to decouple economic growth from the ecological footprint. Xvaluator is a member of the Alliance for Digital Trust, of the Finance Innovation Pole, has already contributed to the first France AI Report (initiated by former Minister Axel Lemaire) and has organized several Xvaluator Conferences on the subject of the importance of creation of Relevance and Trust with the participation of personalities such as the Mayor and former Deputy Andre Santini or Pierre Pelouzet, the Business Mediator, Senator Henri Révol, former president of the Parliamentary Office for the Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Choices.
Dr. Florin Paun discovered in his research work for his deep-teck start-up Xvaluator the new AI typology – “QUALIFICATIVE AI” (patent obtained in 2019 but also scientific articles since these discoveries completed the Condorcet and Arrow’s Theorem) also capable of reducing false data and data flows (with a large ecological footprint) when using generative AI (“the queen of falsehood and synthetic data”), audience platforms, social networks.
Indeed, the AI Qualification Xvaluator is a disruptive innovation capable of responding to urgent and strategic problems for our businesses and societies but also to sovereignty issues for our societies: cybersecurity, the need to reduce false, biased and violence on audience platforms, social networks and during the use of generative AI which will accelerate even more in the coming years. Other positive impacts of Qualification AI in the field of Green Finance, effective consultation and integration of the impacts perceived by all stakeholders in a democratic manner for effective decision-making, through consultation are confirmed during its work. research and innovation recognized by its peers and by decision-makers and practitioners through its conferences (Innovation Research Network, HI-Team, etc.) and scientific articles:
https://www.openscience.fr/L-intelligence-artificielle-qualificative-quai-Quand-l-intelligence
Thus Qualification AI (QuAI) and its generic tool (source) avenues of research and development in the field of qualification of opinion and impact data by opening up the fields of possibilities with multiple applications in the evolution of digital customer relationship management given disintermediation by audience platforms, possibilities of remuneration of extra-financial value to strengthen Green Finance, reduction of false, biased data, violence on platforms and social networks, reappropriation of one’s own opinion and impact data by each digital user (GDPR compatible) and their participatory valuation and security thanks in particular to the “Xvaluator Ontological Vocabulary”, the “Personalized Xvaluator Wallet of Opinion and Impact Data”, the “Xvaluator LIKE FINGERPRINT” (patent obtained in 2019), support for decision-making through effective and highly collaborative, democratic consultation with all stakeholders, the democratization of advertising and marketing tools for the resilience of businesses and individuals, the reduction of data flows during the use of Generative AI especially by reducing the ecological footprint.
Xvaluator already has a valuation of more than 5 million by IPTrust certified INPI and was selected by the Occitanie Region for a grant for the research and innovation project of 500,000 euros for the Xvaluator MVP.
