Presentation
The summer school 'Understanding AI and Big Data' by aivancity enables a diverse audience of French and international students and high school students to explore Artificial Intelligence in its technical and organizational implications, and to delve into the societal challenges and issues it presents.
In addition to presentations and conferences led by our professors and domain experts, our program places a strong emphasis on case studies, group work, testimonials from AI stakeholders, and visits to companies involved in AI projects.
Participants in this summer school will also have the opportunity to complete two projects in AI and Data (e.g., Chatbot, facial recognition, robotics, data-driven predictions, etc.).
Moreover, participants will have the opportunity to become acquainted with the wide range of AI professions (such as data scientist, data manager, data engineer, data mining specialist, AI project manager, AI manager, AI architect, etc.), which are rapidly growing and will shape tomorrow's job market. They will also gain insights into how AI is transforming jobs and professional practices more broadly.
They will have the opportunity to engage with professionals and obtain information about career paths, prerequisites, and careers in AI and Data-related fields. Additionally, they will learn how to leverage AI skills in various professions and domains of activity.
