LBP AM chooses LightOn to deploy its sovereign and secure Generative AI solution

With Paradigm, the teams at LBP AM will benefit from a powerful and secure tool that allows them to query their extensive database, including the ISR datahub which underpins their ESG expertise. This efficient knowledge management will occur in a secure environment as Paradigm ensures the prompts used and sensitive information provided are completely confidential. LightOn and LBP AM are also partnering strategically to co-develop specialized agents that will enable LBP AM's teams to enhance their financial and non-financial analytical capabilities for both listed and private assets.

Paradigm: Accelerating Data-Driven Decision-Making

Paradigm, a generative AI platform developed by LightOn, combines the power of artificial intelligence with the precision of multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This advanced technology allows its users to query large and complex databases, while generating precise and contextually relevant responses. Beyond analyzing isolated documents, LightOn's multimodal RAG performs complex, cross-referencing searches between files of all formats, textual and visual, thus providing quick access to strategic insights. One of the major strengths of the solution lies in its ability to be deployed within companies' infrastructure (cloud, on-premises, Air Gapped), ensuring total control over the confidentiality of the data used.

« We believe that artificial intelligence represents a major opportunity to transform the asset management industry. By forming this partnership with LightOn, a leading French company in generative AI, we aim to improve our operational efficiency, optimize client relationship management, and offer innovative investment solutions in a secure framework. This strategic partnership, accompanied by a specific team acculturation program, will enable us to stay at the forefront of innovation and meet the evolving needs of our clients in France and Europe." Pierre Ernst, Member of the Management Board of LBP AM.

By enabling smooth and efficient interaction with unstructured data of all formats, Paradigm transforms knowledge management and offers new development opportunities in complex sectors like finance.

« Thanks to LightOn, LBP AM teams will benefit from a sovereign information search solution, ensuring the confidentiality and security of strategic data in the asset management sector. By integrating generative AI into data analysis, this technology, complying with European regulations, will accelerate access to relevant financial information, thereby optimizing investment decision-making and strengthening the operational efficiency of managers and analysts. » Igor Carron, CEO of LightOn.
