AIFORU’s mission is to promote the research, application, and ethical development of AI technology, foster close cooperation between academia and industry, and establish France’s and the world’s leading position in this field. The association firmly believes that artificial intelligence is not only a breakthrough tool in the technological field, but it can also bring transformation across various aspects of society, from healthcare, education, and transportation to energy, with far-reaching impacts in all industries. AIFORU upholds the principles of openness, transparency, and ethics, striving to ensure that AI technology benefits society, improves human lives, and promotes global economic sustainable growth.
In advancing the globalization of AI technology, AIFORU particularly focuses on deep cooperation with China. As one of the global innovation hubs for AI technology, China possesses vast market potential and rich technological resources, making it an important partner for AIFORU. The two sides have closely collaborated in several areas, including technological research and development, talent cultivation, business partnerships, and policy exchange. Through cooperation with top Chinese research institutions and enterprises, AIFORU not only facilitates technology sharing and experience exchange between France and China in the field of AI, but also promotes the joint development and innovation of both countries in this field.
AIFORU’s collaboration with China is also reflected in talent cultivation and educational programs. The two sides jointly organize a series of high-level international academic conferences, lectures, and seminars, bringing together scholars and industry experts from both China and France to share the latest research results and technological advancements in AI. These activities provide a platform for in-depth exchanges between Chinese and French researchers, fostering technological innovation and academic cooperation. Furthermore, AIFORU has established long-term partnerships with well-known Chinese universities and research institutions, working together to train and cultivate highly skilled AI talents, providing strong support for the development of AI technology in both countries.
AIFORU’s influence has been demonstrated in various areas. Firstly, in terms of technological innovation, the association has promoted the development of cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, helping multiple industries achieve breakthrough progress with the assistance of AI. Cooperation with China, particularly in areas like deep learning and intelligent manufacturing, has driven joint breakthroughs in technological research between the two countries. Secondly, AIFORU emphasizes social responsibility and public education, through a series of advocacy activities and educational programs to enhance public understanding of AI technology and increase societal trust in its development. On the policy front, AIFORU collaborates closely with governments and international organizations, actively participating in policy discussions about AI in France and the European Union, providing important references for the formulation of legal and regulatory frameworks, ensuring the transparency, legality, and fairness of technology. In cooperation with China, AIFORU has also shared best practices and experiences to help China make significant progress in AI ethics governance, data privacy protection, and other aspects.
Looking to the future, AIFORU will continue to advance its diversified work in the AI field, ensuring that this technology can promote social development at all levels. With the rapid development of AI technology, AIFORU will, on the foundation of innovation and cooperation, further strengthen technology research and development, enterprise support, and international collaboration, promoting the standardization and globalization of the industry. Particularly in cooperation between China and France, AIFORU will continue to deepen its partnership with China, expanding cooperation in areas like smart cities, intelligent healthcare, and autonomous driving, driving the joint development of the two countries in the global AI technology competition.
AIFORU’s future development will focus on promoting the application of AI technology, especially in critical areas such as healthcare, finance, education, and sustainable development. In addition, the association will strengthen its cooperation with major AI organizations worldwide, promoting cross-national research and innovation, and participating in shaping global AI development trends. In this process, AIFORU aims not only to maintain its technological leadership but also to set an example in terms of ethics and social responsibility, guiding AI technology towards a more sustainable and inclusive direction. The cooperation with China will provide a broader space for the mutual development of the two countries, advancing the common progress of China and France in the AI field.
As France’s artificial intelligence association, AIFORU will continue to take on the responsibility of leading the industry’s development, promoting the integration of technology and society, and advancing the widespread use and innovation of AI technology. Through relentless efforts, AIFORU hopes to build a smart, inclusive, and sustainable future society and contribute to global cooperation and progress in the field of AI. We look forward to working with global partners, especially alongside China, to share achievements, move forward together, and tackle the challenges posed by future technology and society.
