H hour is:

  • 1 weekly podcast
  • 1 monthly meeting on campus
  • 1 end-of-year symposium

Podcast

Once a week, journalist Anne Laure Gannac turns her microphone to the new generation of scientists working in, or making extensive use of, AI technologies.

Public events

Once a month, the meeting is recorded in public, with specialists from various fields such as sustainability, philosophy and art.

Symposium

At the end of the year, a symposium with a panel of guests punctuates the themes addressed during the year.

These informal discussions should enable the young generation, the first to be directly exposed to the profound changes linked to the development of AI technologies, to express their relationship with these technologies: how they use them, the research they carry out with and around them, what they expect from them, what they fear, as well as the limits and framework they deem necessary to set for them – or not.

The other aim of this podcast is to raise these voices higher up: at university, local, federal and international levels. Tomorrow’s generation of scientists, whether in the private or public sector, must make their work on these technologies known, along with their needs, concerns and expectations. It is essential, if we are to project ourselves into the future world, that this generation feels it has a stake in the decisions currently being taken.

  • Upcoming events: Wednesday, March 5, April 2 and May 13, 2025

We are looking for volunteers for the podcast, interested?
