On June 16 and 17, the Sorbonne will host PCAIDE 2025 (Paris Conference on AI & Digital Ethics), a milestone event to explore the ethical, societal, and political issues of digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
Designed as an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral platform, this conference aims to bring together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society actors around a common understanding: the urgent need to rethink the foundations of trust in our connected societies.
An Edition Focused on Democratic Resilience
The theme for the 2025 edition:
« Threats to Political Systems and Emerging Solutions to Rebuild Trust ».
Four key areas of discussion will structure the exchanges:
-
Containing digital manipulation strategies and foreign influence
-
Thwarting disinformation techniques in the age of generative AI
-
Exploring the role of blockchain technologies in reclaiming civic trust
-
Rebuilding social cohesion in AI-driven societies
A High-Level Program
The program brings together forty speakers, researchers, experts, and high-ranking officials from prestigious institutions (Harvard, Stanford, OpenAI, European Commission, Shorenstein Center, TU Kaiserslautern, CNRS, CEA, etc.).
Some key highlights announced (subject to confirmation):

A Hub for Research and Dialogue
