"AI events": don't miss the inaugural masterclass and note the dates of upcoming webinars

To help address the challenges surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Institut Pasteur community can benefit from a general training initiative focused on acculturation and daily practical use of generative AI from March 31.

"AI events", a new generative AI acculturation and training series is beginning for the Institut Pasteur community on March 31. Organized by the HR Department in partnership with the Information Systems Department and the Center for IT Resources and Research (C2RI), the program aims to improve understanding of the challenges and issues related to AI and its practical applications. The inaugural masterclass will be held on March 31 (English) and April 3 (French). It will be followed by other themed sessions.

"AI events" are part of a broader strategy to raise awareness and support Institut Pasteur staff in generative AI implementation. Following the launch of our internal platform LibreChat, and in addition to the training already available to PhD students from the Department of Education, this series aims to make AI more accessible and useful for all Institut Pasteur community members, regardless of their job and level of expertise.

The aim is to offer a progressive, interactive approach to understand, experiment and master these technologies with due regard for the diversity of jobs and profiles at the Institut Pasteur.
