AI Action Summit / AI & Environment Winterschool

Do you want to be part of defining future challenges of AI for society?

The upcoming AI Action Summit, held in February 2025, on the Initiative of the French President in Paris, will gather global leaders, businesses, academics, and civil society to discuss and shape the future of artificial intelligence.

Join us at our AI & Environment Winterschool to explore how we want artificial intelligence to develop within society. Engage with students and current graduates from leading Grandes Ecoles and universities in Europe, explore innovative AI solutions, and contribute to discussions on AI impact on sustainability, specifically:

To establish criteria for assessing the environmental impact of AI systems, ensuring transparency and accountability in AI development and deployment.
To explore how AI technologies can be leveraged to meet environmental goals, such as reducing carbon emissions, advancing renewable energy, and protecting ecosystems.
