Michal is a machine learning scientist in DeepMind Paris, tenured researcher at Inria, and the lecturer of the master course Graphs in Machine Learning at l'ENS Paris-Saclay. Michal is primarily interested in designing algorithms that would require as little human supervision as possible. This means 1) reducing the “intelligence” that humans need to input into the system and 2) minimizing the data that humans need to spend inspecting, classifying, or “tuning” the algorithms. That is why he is working on methods and settings that are able to deal with minimal feedback, such as deep reinforcement learning, bandit algorithms, or self-supervised learning. Michal is actively working on representation learning and building worlds models. He is also working on deep (reinforcement) learning algorithm that have some theoretical underpinning. He has also worked on sequential algorithms with structured decisions where exploiting the structure leads to provably faster learning. He received his Ph.D. in 2011 from the University of Pittsburgh under the supervision of Miloš Hauskrecht and after was a postdoc of Rémi Munos before taking a permanent position at Inria in 2012.

As the leader tasked with defining AI governance policies and methods, my primary focus is to ensure compliance with the AI Act and foster ethical, legal, and trustworthy AI practices across the organization.
With over 10 years of experience in the field of machine learning, I have developed a deep expertise in generative models, trustworthy AI, and AI governance, as well as a strong passion for teaching, sharing insights, and engaging in effective communication.
Lately, I helped found and later managed the etami consortium, a European project that aims to advance the state of the art in ethical and trustworthy artificial machine intelligence. I oversaw the coordination, collaboration, and dissemination of the project's activities and outcomes, involving partners from academia, industry, and civil society.
I have always been deeply involved in various open science and open research projects, always seeking novel collaborations and fields to explore.

Malt
Chief Data & AI Officer - Malt
Building AI and data products for the last 10 years.
When I was in academia, economic empowerment was core to my research. I was looking at the impact of rising inequality of income and wealth, and wanted to shift from analyzing households' balancesheets to improving them. I spent the following 10+ years in San Francisco working on developing marketplaces that enable people to make better use of their assets : their cars (at Turo), their homes (at Airbnb). At Airbnb, we also focused a lot on enabling people to live from their passion with experiences. I have now moved back to France to be closer to my family and contribute to another disrupting marketplace, Malt, enabling people to make the best decisions about their most important asset: their human capital, their talent and their time.
Disruption and innovation often come with a dark side too, even with the best company mission. This is why I love data roles, because we can see first hand what's going on and nudge the organization. Ethical data use and AI is also a significant challenge, on which we need more brains. Join me in this adventure!

As the Director of Cathay Innovation in San Francisco, I am driven by a passion for pioneering advancements at the intersection of health, finance, and sustainable consumer innovations, with a keen focus on leveraging AI. My journey has taken me across four continents, allowing me to bridge cultures, sectors, and perspectives. I am fluent in four languages, enhancing my ability to connect with diverse teams and stakeholders.
I am also a dedicated biohacker. Having transformed my life from being obese, prediabetic, and depressed to becoming lean (10% body fat), fit (marathon runner with a half marathon time of 1h30 and a full marathon time of 3h33), and strong (qualifying for the Spartan World Championships), I am now perfectly healthy and happy. My transformation was fueled by technology—I wear six devices that track my progress—guided by the Silicon Valley principle that "you can't change what you don't measure." Now, I measure everything!
With a rich background as a startup founder and CEO, corporate innovation executive, consultant, and investor, I thrive on fostering collaboration between corporates and startups.

Creator of OpenRAIL - Co-Founder & COO at Alinia AI
Hi!👋 I'm a lawyer by training focused on AI Governance & Regulation, and more specifically, on the articulation between open licensing of ML components and the governance of the latter.
My main targets are:
(i) AI governance tools (regtech tools such as automatic regulatory compliance checks for LLMs under the EU AI Act; or model cards and governance cards for LLMs);
(ii) contracts & IP licensing (such as Responsible AI Licenses);
(iii) regulation & regulatory innovation (such as EU AI Act and regulatory sandboxes);
(iii) standardization.
I have experience in different industries (AI; telecoms & IoT; DLT), and from different professional angles (public policy; legal strategy; regulatory policy; research).
I’m adamant on doing what I love to do, it has to be always both a reality and a goal. Execution and proactiveness are key for me. I am a honest, enthusiastic, creative and empathic person with a strong sense of commitment.
