Intellectual output that drives the impact and development of our programmes

Because we are convinced that intellectual output (academic research, applied research, studies, etc.) helps shape the emerging knowledge societies and makes an ongoing contribution to the development of our teaching programmes and responsible AI practices within businesses and society, aivancity works through various initiatives to provide a scientific and critical analysis of AI practices.

The aivancity Observatory on Responsible AI Practices 2024 (in partnership with Viavoice and the GCF)

The roll-out of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising businesses and societies. Whether approached with awareness, enthusiasm, concern, or through well-defined strategies: how will this adoption unfold, and what will be the consequences?

Strategies, cost structures and training programmes will be affected within organisations. All internal functions are involved: production, finance, procurement, legal, human resources, logistics, marketing, sales, customer relations


The perceptions and notions associated with artificial intelligence (AI) also need to be examined, as do the areas in which AI is transforming everyday life and its ethical implications.

It therefore seems essential to have a tool for monitoring and measuring the transformation of ecosystems linked to artificial intelligence (AI) within organisations and society. To this end, aivancity, in partnership with Viavoice and the GCF, is launching the aivancity Observatory on responsible AI practices in France.

The aim of this observatory is to:
  • Identify trends in acceptance or apprehension regarding the development of artificial intelligence within businesses and society,
  • Identify the stakeholders affected by these developments,
  • Understand the skills requirements and expectations needed to support this transformation,
  • Assess the level of maturity of the various stakeholders with regard to the responsible development of AI
This report is being published in partnership with Impact AI; the observatory’s findings were presented at the Big Data & AI Paris exhibition in 2024 (15 and 16 October).

eBook: Sustainable Generation (in partnership with KEYRUS)
Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses a wide range of technologies designed to simulate human capabilities such as learning, decision-making and problem-solving. These technologies can be divided into several sub-fields, such as machine learning, deep learning and, more recently, generative AI.

This eBook aims to provide businesses with a practical guide to defining and implementing a sustainable generative AI strategy. It is aimed at CIOs, operational managers, business leaders, decision-makers and department heads, offering them principles, best practices and concrete examples for integrating generative AI in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.

Ethical AI Practical Guide (in partnership with NUMEUM)
NUMEUM and its partners are launching the Ethical AI initiative to provide committed stakeholders with a practical tool for designing, developing and managing artificial intelligence systems that respect fundamental human rights.

The initiative is based on three pillars: a manifesto to formalise stakeholders’ commitment; a practical guide drawing on a methodology and tools; and a community to drive progress together. Supported by the Coordinator of the National AI Strategy, Renaud VEDEL, the initiative by Numeum and its partners brings together a network of stakeholders from various fields within AI.
