Body

Winner of the "Instituts Convergences" call for projects launched by the French National Research Agency (ANR) in 2017, the DATAIA Institute has gathered the artificial intelligence (AI) expertise of the Paris-Saclay ecosystem to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration between institutions in data science and AI. In January 2021, the Institute refocused its activities on the Université Paris-Saclay cluster of excellence, becoming the bearer of the University's strategy in artificial intelligence, research and training. As France's leading artificial intelligence ecosystem, DATAIA Paris-Saclay Institute aims to federate and structure multi-disciplinary expertise to develop cutting-edge research in data science in conjunction with other disciplines, such as the humanities and social sciences. It now mobilizes over 800 researchers and teacher-researchers from 46 laboratories (including 15% international) within the Paris-Saclay University perimeter.

 

In May 2024, the Institute was officially awarded the "Cluster-IA" label by the French government.
