What They Said
“I would also like to express my gratitude for this unique experience. For me, it was not only useful and interesting, but also a very positive and exciting experience. I would like to thank the organizers for everything, the lecturers for their interesting approach and original presentations, as well as the other participants who made the event even more impressive. Wonderful Lyon, wonderful people, wonderful memories! I hope we will meet again next year!”
“It has been an event that has provided very good information. I’m happy with all the content over the 3 days and I believe it is a very important topic. I particularly valued the opportunity to engage in discussions with experts from different disciplines. I feel that sharing knowledge and experiences helps to build a stronger community around AI and its applications.”
Dimitri
Greece
“It has been a great experience, and having more knowledge about the point of view of various professionals—such as lawyers, researchers, doctors, etc.—on artificial intelligence helps him to strengthen his thinking and have more data on a trending topic.”
Nicolas
Greece
“As someone who works in the health sector, I am very interested in these kind of events. I know that AI is a current topic that helps in many ways, and I traveled from Algeria exclusively to attend.”
Zoulikha
Algeria
“It’s my first time attending an AI event, and it’s very interesting because you can see how AI is taking over various fields. It’s good to know the different perspectives from areas such as economics, health, and how we can use it while being aware of the regulations, especially in Europe. I didn’t know that AI had an ethical side that teaches us how to manage it better.”
Farah
Postdoctoral Scientist
“It’s a very interesting event, and what I liked most was discovering the ethical regulations for the use of AI. I was only able to attend 1 day of the event precisely because I didn’t know about the program in advance. I would like there to be more dissemination.”
Anastasia
Scientist
“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all speakers and participants of this year’s Summer School! I truly hope everyone had a good time in Lyon, and learned a lot from the talks and discussions!”
“Such an honour and blessing to be in same room with so many great minds. Thank you all for facilitating this amazing training and looking forward to see next year, as many of you, in Belgium. It was a fantastic and unique experience 🙏❤️”
