3IA C?te d'Azur at the launch of the IA-cluster at Inria Centre of Saclay
Diana Sebbar, Executive Director of IdEx and major AI projects at Université C?te d'Azur, and Serena Villata, Deputy Scientific Director of 3IA C?te d'Azur, were at the Inria Centre of Saclay on January 24 for the launch of the 9 IA-clusters.
On this occasion, Diana Sebbar was able to briefly present the 3IA C?te d'Azur institute to Elisabeth Borne, Minister of State, Minister for National Education, Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, Minister Delegate to the Minister of State, responsible for Higher Education and Research, and Clara Chappaz, Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Economy.
Opening the event, Elisabeth Borne reminded the audience that "National Education, Higher Education and Research play a crucial role in making France a world leader in artificial intelligence".
The 3IA C?te d'Azur 2030 project, labeled IA-cluster, is therefore an integral part of the national strategy for scientific excellence initiated by President Emmanuel Macron, with the aim of making France a world leader in AI.
