First a pilot, now an artificial intelligence consultant
My name is David Desjardins, and I'm based in Québec City. A former professional pilot, civil and military, and a former flight instructor, I am now Director of Business Development at Nova Protection, where I use AI every day on real-world projects.
Useful, responsible and creative AI, in service of people
I believe AI can do a lot of good, as long as it is well understood and well used. My role is to help individuals, businesses and organizations adopt it in a practical, thoughtful way, so that it truly serves their interests, and those of society.
Save time on what weighs you down, to keep more for what really matters.
Transparency, respect for confidentiality, and always a human check before sending.
AI doesn't replace your judgment or your talent: it extends them. Explore ideas, structure a project, dare to try.
Explaining simply, without jargon, what AI does well, what it does poorly, and how we can use it.
What aviation taught me about AI
A flight is prepared the same way as good work with AI.
Knowing what we hand over to AI and what we keep. That's Delegation.
A clear request gives a clear result. That's Description, and my CRAFT method.
Check what AI produces, never with blind trust. That's Discernment.
A human reviews and approves before sending. That's Diligence.
