AI & Gender Bias: A Day to Understand and Take Action at UBE

On Thursday, May 28, 2026, a study day dedicated to the links between artificial intelligence and gender bias will take place in Dijon, initiated by the ICB – Interdisciplinary Carnot de Bourgogne Laboratory, in collaboration with ICMUB, LIB, CNRS Physique, and the AI Hub of Université Bourgogne Europe.

Open to students, faculty members, researchers, and university staff, this event will encourage collective reflection on the social, ethical, and professional impacts of artificial intelligence. As AI tools become increasingly present in everyday life, the issue of discrimination and algorithmic bias is emerging as a major challenge for both academia and society.
