At the AI Summit held in Paris, Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin, Thierry Warin, and Anne-Marie Hubert, participated in several key events, actively contributing to discussions on artificial intelligence and its implications for the future of work, accessibility, sustainable finance, and open science.

Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin, professor at Polytechnique Montreal, CIRANO researcher and Fellow, took part as a panellist in the UNESCO-IFAP AI Action Summit on « Artificial Intelligence, Accessibility, and Human-Centered Digital Futures », addressing issues related to AI accessibility and societal impacts.
