Artificial intelligence is no longer just a subject of study: it profoundly transforms the way we learn, teach, and innovate. In an interview with News Tank TV hosted by Gilbert Azoulay, François Stephan, Managing Director of ECE and Chief AI Officer of OMNES Education, reveals the main directions of the group’s AI strategy and shares his vision for higher education in the era of artificial intelligence.
In this interview, François Stephan discusses the challenges of artificial intelligence for higher education institutions, the evolution of engineering professions, and the ambitions held by OMNES Education to train the talents of tomorrow.
Training the engineers who will build the world of tomorrow
Artificial intelligence is already redefining the skills sought by companies. In the face of this transformation, engineering schools have a key role to play: to prepare students to understand, master, and leverage these technologies in their future professional environment.
In this interview, François Stephan particularly addresses:
- The integration of AI into the training programs of the OMNES Education group;
- The evolution of pedagogical practices thanks to artificial intelligence tools;
- The skills that will make a difference in the coming years;
- The opportunities and challenges related to the rise of AI for students and companies.
A strong ambition for ECE
At ECE, artificial intelligence is already at the heart of pedagogy and student projects. The school supports its students in understanding emerging technologies while developing their ability to use them critically, ethically, and innovatively.
This dynamic is particularly embodied through the Intelligence Lab, a space dedicated to experimentation, innovation, and exploration of AI applications in the fields of engineering and digital technology.
Learning AI… and learning with AI
For François Stephan, the issue goes beyond the simple training of specialists. Tomorrow, regardless of their sector of activity, engineers will need to know how to collaborate with artificial intelligence, understand its limits, and harness its potential to address the major technological, environmental, and societal challenges.
By placing these challenges at the heart of its educational project, ECE confirms its commitment to training engineers capable of anticipating the transformations of the professional world and building the innovations of tomorrow.
