GenAI tools in the public sector : how to address the needs of administrations and universities while remaining sovereign?

Les outils GenAI dans le secteur public : comment répondre aux besoins des administrations et des universités tout en préservant leur souveraineté?

16 March 2026 (3 pm to 5.15 pm)

 

The workshop will take place within the EU AI Week 2026 

Like other innovative tools, Generative AI, if adequately integrated, can help to fulfill the missions of the public sector. But the GenAI implementation within public administrations and universities should also remain as sovereign as possible (ASAP). Relying on those two use cases and several experiments, the workshop aims to identify and discuss the challenges and requirements of an ASAP integration of GenAI within the public sector.

Comme d'autres outils innovants, l'IA générative (GenAI), si elle est correctement intégrée, peut aider à accomplir les missions du secteur public. Mais la mise en œuvre de la GenAI au sein des administrations publiques et des universités devrait aussi rester aussi souveraine que possible. En s'appuyant sur deux cas d’usage et plusieurs expérimentations, l'atelier vise à identifier et discuter les défis et les exigences d'une intégration souveraine de la GenAI.
