A collaborative dynamic at the heart of the national strategy
INESIA is not limited to an evaluation or regulatory role: it also acts as a catalyst for a French AI ecosystem that is both innovative, responsible, and sovereign. To achieve this, it establishes close links with all the actors involved in the artificial intelligence value chain.
Research laboratories, startups, major technology companies, cybersecurity agencies, local authorities, and European institutions all benefit from INESIA’s support to structure an environment conducive to controlled AI development in France.
Train, certify, support
One of INESIA’s key pillars is to disseminate knowledge, strengthen skills, and oversee practices around artificial intelligence. Through strategic partnerships, the Institute offers:
- Educational resources on the technical, legal, and ethical challenges of AI, intended for researchers, developers, public or private decision-makers;
- Specialized training on AI system security, risk assessment, or compliance with European regulations (AI Act, DSA);
- Certification schemes aimed at attesting to the reliability and compliance of AI solutions according to strict criteria of ethics, performance, and transparency.
This approach helps structure a more mature market, aligned with societal expectations and technological sovereignty requirements.
A shared digital sovereignty
In a context of growing dependence on technologies developed outside Europe, INESIA contributes to building French digital sovereignty. It promotes local initiatives, encourages resource pooling, and supports the emergence of European alternatives to dominant models.
By promoting interoperability between actors, normative coherence, and the sharing of best practices, the Institute works to create a resilient digital space, respectful of democratic values and carrying an ethical vision of innovation.
A role in networking and coordination
INESIA also acts as a unifying player in the AI ecosystem. It organizes:
- Interdisciplinary working groups between researchers, lawyers, and industrialists;
- Public events to popularize the challenges of artificial intelligence and encourage dialogue with civil society;
- European cooperation, in connection with structures such as the European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (ECAT) or the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA).
These initiatives help to consolidate a national community around ethical, secure, and inclusive AI.
