Paris, 5 March 2025 - Sciences Po announces its participation in NextGenAI, a consortium that brings together leading academic institutions and OpenAI, in order to advance research in AI.
NextGenAI’s founding partners are Harvard, Oxford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Caltech, Howard, Duke, University of Michigan, University of Mississippi, Texas A&M University, University of Georgia, the California State University System, Ohio State University, Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston Public Library, Sciences Po and OpenAI. As part of this initiative, Sciences Po will conduct research to explore the impact of AI on the form and dynamics of online public debates. This project is a three-year experiment whose outcomes will be measured.
In line with its vision of the ethical development of AI, Sciences Po has ensured that this partnership respects these fundamental principles:
- The principles of the Statement on Inclusive and Sustainable Artificial Intelligence for People and the Planet resulting from the AI Action Summit held on 10 and 11 February in Paris. These principles advocate for an AI of general interest that is open, inclusive, sustainable, ethical and responsible;
- Compliance with all applicable national and European regulatory frameworks (including GDPR and the AI Act), particularly regarding data protection and intellectual property;
- The guarantee of academic autonomy and independence of research.
Sciences Po welcomes this opportunity to expand its research resources dedicated to exploring the links between AI developments and democratic governance which lies at the heart of its DNA.
