Home » Milo, the AI Student at ECE: An Artificial Intelligence Arrives in Fall 2025

ECE becomes the first higher education institution in France to integrate an autonomous artificial intelligence into a student curriculum. Meet Milo, a student like no other.

AI in engineering schools: vision or reality?

At ECE, artificial intelligence is no longer just a topic of study. In 2025, it becomes a fellow classmate.

Milo is the name of this one-of-a-kind AI. Neither a teacher, nor a chatbot, nor a simple digital assistant — Milo is fully embedded in student life. He attends classes, asks questions, shares ideas, and can even support peers in math and computer science.

But above all, Milo learns alongside students, without ever trying to replace them.


A Frugal, Sovereign, Ethical, and Respectful AI

Imagined by professors, researchers, instructional engineers, and students at the Intelligence Lab — ECE’s AI innovation hub — the Milo Project is a groundbreaking experiment.

Its mission: to co-create responsible uses of AI in higher education, while upholding ethical, pedagogical, and human-centered values.

Milo has no predefined role. He will evolve throughout the year, in close interaction with students and faculty.

A project designed as a living lab, where AI becomes a catalyst for dialogue, innovation, and critical thinking about the place of technology in our lives.
