Federation of high-level research and teaching efforts on social issues related to AI.
Research efforts on the technical dimension of AI have intensified in recent years, but it is essential that research on the social impacts or other benefits of AI follow suit.
Development of multidisciplinary research in AI.
New AI technologies are so-called general purpose technologies. They have applications in a wide variety of fields and can have an impact in all spheres of society: access to justice, urban planning, the medical field, transport, etc. It is therefore essential to create links between researchers from different disciplines to reflect on these multi-faceted issues.
Creation of models dedicated to the specific problems of the fields explored.
Dissemination of theoretical expertise in AI.
It is essential to make AI accessible beyond the small community of international experts to ensure its harmonious and informed integration into human activities.
Facilitating civil society ownership of AI.
Integration of art and creation in the reflection on the development of AI.
Support for the development of ethical governance.
Implementation of the university mission of knowledge transfer through the creation of courses, seminars and practical workshops for a variety of audiences.
Understanding AI issues can be difficult due to the complexity of algorithms and technologies. In addition, many of the new AI applications are developed in the private sector. It is important to fulfill the mission of education and teaching that goes hand in hand with research by reaching different groups of actors – designers, developers and users.
Study of the new digital divide between the beneficiaries of the development of AI and the forgotten.
Study of the effects of AI development on inequalities between citizens, communities, societies.
