AI in Paris: One Year On, Shaping the Future
AI for science
In February 2025, Institut Polytechnique de Paris hosted the scientific days of the AI Action Summit on its Palaiseau campus — a global scientific conference dedicated to exchanging ideas and debating the transformations driven by artificial intelligence in science and across our societies.
The conference, entitled “AI, Science and Society,” brought together more than 3,800 participants from academia, industry, and public institutions, marking a decisive milestone in structuring the global debate on artificial intelligence.
One year later, researchers and policymakers will explore how French research is helping shape standards for innovative and responsible AI. From molecular chemistry to global governance, the event will highlight the excellence of our research hubs, with the active participation of the AI clusters Hi! PARIS and PR[AI]RIE, as well as the AI and Society Institute.
