ABOUT THE SPECIALIZATION:

The Specialization follows the four I’s: Ideation, Implementation, Integration, and Iteration. After having learned about the fundamentals of AI, participants—in groups—will ideate on their own AI project. Leveraging our networks, they will receive extensive support from Creative Destructive Lab and learn from promising AI ventures as well as deep tech venture capitalists. In close collaboration with Hi!Paris, we then will turn to implementation where participants will lead data and computer scientists (a key competence) to implement hands-on tools. 
 
The second week, in Canada, will be dedicated to Integration and Iteration—and again highlight the necessity of embracing an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to leverage AI’s potential. 
There, we will extensively discuss essential topics such as technology acceptance, consumers’ and stakeholders’ reactions to AI and automation, responsible AI, AI for good, and AI regulations, among others. Generally, the focus will be on market validation of AI. 

These insights are supposed to be integrated in the group work via continuous iteration.
