24 Programme: an AI Action Week, from 6 to 11 February 2025 Events in relation to the Summit started several months ago, with the Road to the Summit . These events (around 100) around the world brought together hundreds of participants to discuss the Summits themes. In February, these international efforts will come to fruition in an AI action week that will start in Paris on 6 February and culminate with the Summit. These discussions will begin with science and presentation of the latest known and universally recognized academic elements on artificial intel- ligence. For example, the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) will host an international sci- entific conference on AI, Science and Society, on 6 and 7 February on its campus. addressing the transformations brought by artificial intelli- gence for science and societies. By fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue, this meeting will see presentations by leading researchers, including Nobel laureates, of their work, followed by various discussions between leaders in Paris throughout the week. 8 and 9 February will focus on culture and AI , with dedicated events in Paris, that will be open to the public . The aim will be both to present works produced by artists using artificial intel- ligence and to address the debates sparked by the emergence of AI technologies in this sector (copyright, heritage, shifts for museums, artistic potential expressed thanks to and using artificial intelligence, etc.). A dedicated press kit will be provided. The Summit will begin in the Grand Palais on 10 February , starting with a forum bringing together many stakeholders from around the world (including representatives of governments, businesses and civil society, researchers, artists and journalists). This first day of the Summit will involve conferences, round tables and presenta- tions, focused largely on solutions offered by artificial intelligence. It will enable many bilateral meetings between participants who are gathering for the first time in such a format, with particularly diverse stakeholders. At the end of the day, various evening side events will be organized by third parties. The French President will invite his counterparts and a few leading figures in artificial intelligence to a dinner at the lyse Palace . The Summit of Heads of State and Government will take place on 11 February , on the occasion of a plenary session at the Grand Palais gather- ing high-level guests from the private sector, civil society and international organizations to discuss among leaders the key common actions to take on artificial intelligence.
