Conference Day Two - Wednesday 15th April

11:30 AM Presentation/Case Study: Smarter, Smaller, Responsible: Building Scalable GenAI for Global Retail at Decathlon

Decathlon’s Responsible AI algorithmic team has developed a production-ready, low-cost GenAI search tool that outperforms Google’s solution in key areas - while running at 40 times and has plans to scale horizontally across 80 countries. This session shares how Decathlon is competing with Big Tech not by going bigger, but by going smarter - optimising small models, owning the data, and embedding responsible practices from the start.
• Outperforming Big Tech: How Decathlon built a GenAI search cheaper and more performant than Google’s
• Designing small models for scale: CPU-ready, device-friendly, and cost-efficient global deployment
• Embedding responsibility: production-ready AI that prioritises control, context and clean data
