aivancity, the first prestigious university to join the Ethical AI initiative

True to its commitment to ensuring that technological advancements contribute to the development of a fairer, more ethical, and more humane world, aivancity has partnered with Numeum to provide dedicated stakeholders with a practical tool for designing, developing, and managing artificial intelligence systems that respect fundamental human rights.

Indeed, aivancity is pleased to join the “n+i” network, whose goal is to make engineering education and the engineering profession (IAgénieur®) increasingly international, as well as to enable students to connect with universities and companies—whether partners or not—to develop an international project.

Ethical AI: A Groundbreaking Initiative to Address the New Challenges Posed by AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds great promise, helping to address major societal and environmental challenges, optimize business operations, and improve the speed and accuracy of diagnoses, among other things. However, certain technologies—particularly the most recent ones known as deep learning—can raise public mistrust and legitimate concerns. It is essential to rethink AI solutions in order to meet expectations regarding trustworthy solutions and a commitment to responsible digital practices.

Ethical AI is a groundbreaking initiative that brings together a network of partners—including professional organizations, schools, interdisciplinary AI institutes, associations, foundations, and think tanks—committed to promoting more responsible digital practices. Building on one of the recommendations of the Villani Report, its ambition is to support “AI developers” who wish to integrate ethics into the core of their activities, thereby facilitating the operational implementation of general ethical principles—derived from existing research—into practical methods and tools. The added value associated with the more responsible solutions thus created will contribute to the strategic differentiation of technology developed in France on the international stage and make it more competitive.

Today, it is essential to improve practices at every level—including training, design, development, and deployment—in order to operate more efficiently and foster continuous improvement.
