Soon an AI school
A French school of artificial intelligence (Efelia Côte d’Azur) will soon see the light of day in the Alpes-Maritimes. The project is led by the University of the Côte d’Azur (UCA), winner of the call for expressions of interest “Skills and professions of the future” (CMA), launched by the National Research Agency and the Caisse deposits and consignments. In conjunction with the 3 IA Côte d’Azur Institute and the 3 IA network, the UCA will have 8 million euros over five years to create certified training and offer an offer of moocs in IA.
7 million
This is the number of visitors who walked the streets of Nice during the summer season, compared to 5 million in 2019, the reference year before the pandemic. With this result, the city, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, becomes the number one tourist destination in France, and the fourth in all of Europe.
