June 4 and 5, 2025: Getting to grips with AI and its deployment challenges in the workplace
June 4 and 5, 2025 (Sophia Antipolis), by Université Côte d'Azur
Would you like to develop an informed perspective on the transformations brought about by Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, for your own work as well as in your corporate or public service strategy?Come and train for 2 days at Université Côte d'Azur!
The course is taught by teacher-researchers specializing in artificial intelligence: Lise Arena, a university lecturer in management science, Gérald Gaglio, university lecturer in sociology, Lucile Sassatelli, university lecturer in computer science.

Objectives
Modern artificial intelligence (AI) is a collection of major advances in applied mathematics, statistics and computer science. This field is bringing new tools and applications that are having a growing impact on professional practices and society as a whole. This module is not a prompt engineering course. Nor does it aim to teach the technical specifics of AI, but to help you understand the underlying concepts (what's in the black box?), so that you can develop a critical mind and make informed decisions about the use you wish to make (or not make) of these AI tools, particularly generative AI.At the end of this module, you will be able to :
- Analyze and contextualize the capabilities and limitations of current AI tools (explicability issues, biases), integrating an understanding of the scientific, political, societal and environmental issues surrounding these technologies.
- To apprehend the impact and challenges of adopting AI tools in individual and collective work: how they possibly help, modify professional practices, and/or pose new problems.
- To decide, in the light of the latest scientific knowledge in computer science and the Human and Social Sciences, if, when and how to use AI tools.
Target skills
- Report on the capabilities and limitations of current AI tools in your professional practice.
- Understand the impact of AI on individuals, organizations, society and the environment.
- Develop a critical mindset about the use (one's own, that of others) of AI tools, integrating the values of responsibility and ethics.
- Decipher the challenges of deploying a local LLM solution in a public or private company, and understand what questions to ask and how to answer them.
