3IA Côte d'Azur at the SophI.A Summit 2024

The seventh edition of the international AI conference, SophI.A Summit, will take place from 27-29 November at Sophia Antipolis, to reveal the latest advances in the field of artificial intelligence and its applications.

This event brings together global AI experts, in biology, health, mobility and smart applications, covering both core technology and its applications who will present their work through meetings, debates, round tables and posters.

The SophI.A Summit gathers the best AI specialists in the world. During 3 days, we want to offer researchers working at the cutting edge of AI the opportunity to consolidate their technical knowledge and meet recognized experts. Together, we need to articulate a vision on how to create sustainable, economically and socially controllable AI.
