Question 1

What is the size of the generative AI market?

Accepted Answer

The global generative AI market is expected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2032 according to Bloomberg Intelligence, with annual compound growth above 40%. In 2025, hyperscalers announced over $320 billion in cumulative CAPEX, signaling massive acceleration of infrastructure investment.

Question 2

Who are the main AI players in 2026?

Accepted Answer

In the US: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, xAI. Hyperscalers: Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud. In Europe: Mistral AI, H Company, Aleph Alpha. In China: DeepSeek, Alibaba Qwen, Baichuan, Moonshot. Open-weight models are gaining share (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek).

Question 3

What is sovereign cloud?

Accepted Answer

Sovereign cloud refers to cloud infrastructure that guarantees legal and technical data sovereignty against extraterritorial laws (notably US Cloud Act). In France, SecNumCloud qualification by ANSSI is the reference (OVHcloud, Outscale, Scaleway). Hybrid offerings exist (S3NS Thales-Google, Bleu Microsoft-Capgemini-Orange).

Question 4

What is the AI Act?

Accepted Answer

The AI Act is the European regulation on artificial intelligence in force since August 2024, with progressive application. It classifies AI systems by risk level (prohibited, high risk, transparency) and imposes specific obligations on general-purpose models (GPAI), with strengthened rules applying from August 2026.

Question 5

What are the issues for semiconductors?

Accepted Answer

The market exceeds $700 billion in 2025, boosted by AI. Key issues are sovereignty (CHIPS Acts US, EU, Japan with $280B cumulative), geographic concentration (TSMC in Taiwan for advanced nodes), HBM shortage, and the technology race for 2nm and 1.4nm nodes.

Question 6

Why is quantum becoming strategic?

Accepted Answer

Quantum computing could break current cryptography (RSA, ECC) once quantum advantage is reached (estimated 2030-2035). Organizations must anticipate migration to post-quantum cryptography standardized by NIST (CRYSTALS-Kyber for encryption, Dilithium and SPHINCS+ for signature).

Question 7

What are NIS2 and DORA?

Accepted Answer

NIS2 (Network and Information Security 2) is the European cybersecurity directive applicable since October 2024 to around 160,000 essential and important entities in Europe. DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is the regulation specific to the financial sector applicable since January 2025, imposing IT risk management, resilience testing and critical provider oversight.

Question 8

How is AI transforming cybersecurity?

Accepted Answer

AI is deployed in attack (deepfakes, personalized phishing, malware generation) and defense (behavioral detection, autonomous SOCs, LLM-based threat intelligence agents). Modern SOCs now integrate AI copilots to accelerate incident triage and investigation.
