This distinction is unique: aivancity is the only school in the world, out of more than 100 institutions selected internationally, to have been awarded the 5 Palmes of Excellence in this new ranking dedicated to AI and information technology.

This places aivancity amongst the world’s elite academic institutions specialising in artificial intelligence, alongside the sector’s most influential leaders.

An inauguration marked by a spirit of collaboration

As Eduniversal highlights in its official letter, this distinction marks aivancity’s entry into a circle ‘representing the highest level of global academic excellence in AI & IT’.

aivancity, a school ahead of its time

Far from taking a purely technical approach, aivancity holds a firm conviction: training in artificial intelligence means training students to understand the world it is transforming. AI is not just another technology; it is a force reshaping work, knowledge and decision-making. It was therefore necessary to create a school designed with this paradigm shift in mind, rather than simply adding it as an afterthought to existing programmes.

This international recognition confirms the relevance of a unique educational project, designed not merely to keep pace with the AI revolution, but to shed light on it, give it structure, and make it both desirable and responsible.

It also reinforces aivancity’s ambition: to become a European and global benchmark in the training of leaders, experts and‘IA Engineers®’capable of designing technologies that are useful, well-managed and ethically governed.

  Founding President of aivancity School of AI & Data for Business & Society
  ‘aivancity was born out of a simple yet demanding insight: artificial intelligence was going to transform the world long before the world was ready for it. From the very beginning, we chose to create a school entirely dedicated to AI, where artificial intelligence is not just another programme, but the very foundation of the academic project, conceived from the outset as a fusion of technology, business and social responsibility. At a time when AI was neither a buzzword nor a strategic reflex, we took a long-term view. This international distinction does not merely recognise a one-off achievement; it acknowledges consistency, a clear vision and the ambition to create AI that is useful, well-governed and profoundly human.”
