Artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming our societies, our ways of life, and our ways of thinking. At the University of Lausanne, it is at the heart of cutting-edge research and innovative teaching, rooted in a wide range of disciplines. From data analysis to language processing, our researchers examine its uses, develop new approaches, and shed light on its scientific, ethical, and social implications. UNIL thus establishes itself as a major academic institution, offering a critical and interdisciplinary perspective on artificial intelligence.
