Finding market shares with GlobalData Explorer
GlobalData Explorer (GDX) is a powerful set of databases containing information on markets, companies, countries and products. You can use it in two ways: either by typing keywords into the search bar on the home page to find different types of information on a subject, or by selecting a particular database to find a specific type of information. We will develop this second method below.

Patent search
Economic actors participate in scientific and technical invention, which is reflected in the publication of patents. This is a legal obligation, in order to benefit from the intellectual protection afforded to innovative products by patents.

The term generative AI is used more generally, particularly for content other than text: computer code, mathematical formulas, images, videos, etc.

Searching for information with AI (Part 1): recommendations and search engines
The objective of this zoom is to communicate on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a very general way, and on some of the functionalities it already provides for information research.
Definition of A.I.
Here we use two definitions quoted in the article “Defining artificial intelligence for librarians” :
- the OECD definition : "Artificial intelligence (AI) is ‘a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems are designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy’". (OECD, 2020).
- and the European Commission's definition, which is also very general : "Simply put, AI is a collection of technologies that combines data, algorithms and computing power". (European Commission, 2020: 2).
To go beyond these simple definitions, you can consult the following...
