Digital and technology news
A digest of technology and innovation: the events and topics shaping the digital world this month.
Artificial intelligence: a season of innovation
Artificial intelligence continues to transform professional and personal uses. This September, digital players are gathering around several major themes: new AI models, intelligent agents, automation, data analysis, generative AI, and AI integration within businesses.
Key takeaways
Big data and artificial intelligence
Paris, September 2026
The season also brings several professional gatherings dedicated to data and artificial intelligence. These events bring together businesses, experts, developers and innovation players.
The goal is notably to understand how businesses can make the most of their data and integrate AI into their operations while keeping control over their information.
IoT, robotics and smart technologies
Connected devices and robotics continue to take on an important role in industry and business. IoT technologies now make it possible to connect equipment, collect data and automate certain operations. Robotics, in turn, is evolving rapidly thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and computer vision.
Trends to watch
Cybersecurity: protecting businesses in the age of AI
Digital transformation also brings new risks. Businesses must protect their systems, data and people against an ever-growing range of threats: phishing, data theft, malware, account takeovers and ransomware. Artificial intelligence is both a new line of defense and a technology that can be used to automate certain attacks.
Good practices remain essential
Cybersecurity is no longer a concern for large businesses alone: small and medium businesses, and individuals, are affected too.
Phones, computers and connected devices
The season is traditionally an important period for the computer hardware market. Phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, earbuds and accessories keep evolving with the growing integration of artificial intelligence. Manufacturers are notably working to improve:
Sustainable technology
Digital technology plays a major part in our daily lives, but its growth also raises environmental questions. The energy consumption of infrastructure, device manufacturing and electronic waste are central to conversations about sustainable technology.
A few simple habits
- Repair rather than replace.
- Favor durable devices.
- Recycle electronic equipment properly.
- Extend the life of phones and computers.
- Limit unnecessary data storage.
Technology can keep evolving while giving more weight to environmental concerns.
Europe and the question of digital sovereignty
Artificial intelligence is also raising a strategic question: how can Europe build its own digital infrastructure and technology? Data centers, cloud, semiconductors, software, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence are now major topics for technological sovereignty. Building a competitive European ecosystem matters for businesses and institutions alike.
