Organized by the Université Côte d’Azur, the Communauté d’Agglomération de Sophia Antipolis and the Sophia Club Entreprises with the support of the Alpes Maritimes department, the Soph.I.A Summit is an annual event that presents the latest advances in the field of artificial intelligence. The fourth edition of this event will take place from November 17 to 19, 2021 in Sophia Antipolis. Several applications of AI will be discussed, including medical and biological research, sustainable development, mobility and intelligent territories.
A fourth edition under the sign of seven topical themes around AI
For this fourth edition, the Soph.I.A Summit will be held in a hybrid format, both face-to-face and remote, to allow as many people as possible to attend all the speeches, conferences, round tables, demos and posters of the various national and international experts who will be present. The call for project submissions for the Soph.I.A Summit has met with great interest from the scientific ecosystem, with nearly fifty applications received.
Seven themes will be the focus of the 2021 edition of the Soph.I.A., namely: developments in the fundamentals of AI, AI and health, AI and biology, AI and mobility, AI and intelligent territory, AI and sustainable development, and the relationship between AI and management.
