Artificial intelligence is slowly making its way into our daily lives, and is likely to bring many changes to our society that are difficult to grasp when you're not familiar with the technology. On February 10 and 11, 2025, France is hosting the Summit for Action on Artificial Intelligence (AI), which will bring together heads of state, leaders of international organizations, researchers, artists and other members of civil society, while a cultural weekend is being organized to enable the general public to find out more.
You're invited to come to the BnF François Mitterand on February 8, and to the Conciergerie on the following day, to discuss the challenges of AI, its benefits, its dangers, its latest advances, and to ask any questions you may have on the subject - all free of charge, but registration is required for the events. At BnF, you'll be able to try out TV5 Monde's conversational terminal, which lets you chat with the spirits of François 1er, Marguerite Duras and Aimé Césaire, as well as attend lectures, debates, screenings and interactive workshops.
At the Conciergerie, a new freeexhibition,"Machina Sapiens", and masterclasses invite you to discuss with the artists and explore artificial intelligence through three captivating themes: recognition, the AI system and metamorphoses and futuristic visions, thanks to works that are both playful and critical of the interactions between artificial intelligence and artistic creation.
