Telecom Paris, France’s leading engineering school for digital technology, conducts research and trains socially responsible engineers to make the world a better place through digital innovation. To this end, it leverages top-tier academic expertise—actively applied to the economy and society—across the fields of mathematics, computer science, electronics and physics, and the economic and social sciences. It therefore considered it essential to participate in this ecosystem dedicated to fostering the development of ethical and responsible Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is transforming our societies, and it is important for everyone to be able to embrace this change. At Talan, we are convinced that the learning organization is one of the keys to building a more inclusive and prosperous future. Whether with our employees, clients, and partner ecosystem, or with future generations, continuous dialogue and mutual learning are essential to understanding the impact of new technologies on everyone’s daily lives. The Impact AI collective is a fantastic initiative for reflecting and taking action together.

For the HERVE Group, participating in the Impact AI collective means exchanging ideas with renowned partners about the best technologies, but above all, it means reflecting together on the development of responsible and respectful artificial intelligence that fosters our employees’ growth. Our “augmented” employees will be ready to adapt to the evolution of their roles and further unlock their emotional intelligence potential.

There is a whole range of working groups and thematic areas offering a space to tackle various projects collaboratively and create leverage; however, Impact AI is– above all—a space for learning

Joining the collective today means equipping yourself to embrace the opportunities offered by AI—now a mature technology—while also understanding the associated constraints.

Joining the Impact AI collective means becoming part of a highly diverse group—comprising public and private sector organizations of all sizes and industries—that collaborates to address the ethical and responsibility-related challenges surrounding the use of artificial intelligence.

EPITA is the leading school for digital engineering. Artificial Intelligence has been part of its curriculum since its inception in 1984. Joining the Impact AI collective enables us to share our experiences with industry partners and continuously adapt our educational programs. Combining ethics and business in the development of Artificial Intelligence is undeniably the right path to follow.

To make the best possible progress in Artificial Intelligence, the Bouygues Group has joined “Impact IA,” a think-and-act tank launched at Microsoft’s initiative. Major digital players—such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, IBM, and, of course, Microsoft—are investing heavily in AI, as it is a field with immense future potential. These major groups aim to establish benchmarks and showcase their achievements by setting up open, participatory innovation structures. We chose to join the initiative Microsoft launched in Paris, thereby gaining access to their expertise and resources regarding the technical, practical, and ethical aspects of the subject. I am convinced that we will learn a great deal from this partnership, not least through the sharing of experiences among the consortium’s other stakeholders.
