PARIS Initiatives\, a series designed to build thematic working groups around major societal challenges\, an upcoming Meet Up on “AI & Fake News Detection” will take place on Tuesday\, June 9\, 2026\, at 6 PM\, at STATION F (Central Room). \n  \nArtificial intelligence is changing the way false information is created\, spread\, and detected online. But behind that\, there are still many open questions. How can we better identify coordinated influence campaigns? How do misleading arguments circulate on social platforms? What really works when it comes to detecting false or manipulative content? And how can research help public and private actors respond more effectively to these new information threats? \n  \nThe next Hi!

This first session is on AI & Sustainability: Spotlight on Diverse Career Trajectories. \n Speaker: Claire Monteleoni (AI Research for Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability – INRIA Paris) \nTalk: Generative AI for Climate and Weather \nThe stunning recent advances in frontier AI models rely on cutting-edge\, generative deep learning algorithms and architectures trained on massive amounts of text\, image\, and video data. With different training data\, these algorithms and architectures can benefit a variety of applications for addressing climate change. As opposed to text and video\, the relevant training data includes weather and climate data from observations\, reanalyses\, and even physical simulations. \nMany applications aimed at addressing climate change hinge on fundamental challenges of data fusion\, interpolation\, downscaling\, and probabilistic domain alignment. Claire Monteleoni will provide a survey of recent work developing generative AI methods for these problems\, with applications including weather forecasting\, climate model emulation and scenario interpolation\, and renewable energy planning. \n Register here!

PARIS will co-organize a workshop with HEC Paris (IEI) and CDL-Paris\, titled “Defense in the Age of Physical AI – Dual-use systems\, strategic capability\, and Europe’s sovereignty” on June 17(12:30–2:00 PM). ​ \nArtificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented speed\, faster than any previous technology wave. In just a few years\, the conversation has moved from predictive AI to generative AI\, and then to agentic AI. The next frontier is now becoming increasingly visible: Physical AI. \nPhysical AI refers to AI systems that do not only process information\, but also interact with the real world through perception\, decision-making\, autonomy\, and action. It is the convergence of advanced models\, robotics\, autonomous systems\, edge computing\, simulation\, and real-time inference. It brings AI out of the interface and into the environment. \nOne of the earliest and most consequential domains where this shift is already becoming tangible is defense. \nFrom autonomous systems and robotics to intelligence support\, navigation\, surveillance\, counter-drone systems\, and other dual-use applications\, AI is accelerating a new generation of capabilities. What was once discussed as future potential is increasingly becoming an operational reality. This creates new opportunities\, new tensions\, and new strategic questions for founders\, investors\, researchers\, public institutions\, and the wider innovation ecosystem. \nThis event will convene leaders from across the European ecosystem to explore how Physical AI is advancing defense\, how dual-use technologies are moving from innovation to deployment\, and what this means for security\, sovereignty\, and Europe’s strategic position.

PARIS Exceptional Seminar - “How to Design Fast GFTs” by Antonio Ortega\, University of Southern California DESCRIPTION:Hi! PARIS is pleased to welcome Antonio Ortega\, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California\, for a scientific seminar organized in the framework of the Hi! PARIS International Visiting Chairs Program. \nHis talk\, titled “How to Design Fast GFTs\,” will provide an overview of recent advances in speeding up the computation of the Graph Fourier Transform\, also known as GFT. \nGraph Fourier Transforms play an important role in graph signal processing\, with applications in image and video coding\, graph machine learning\, multimedia compression\, 3D point cloud processing\, and sensor networks. However\, computing these transforms efficiently remains a key challenge\, especially for large or complex graph structures. \nAntonio Ortega will present divide-and-conquer techniques that make use of graph structure\, including graph symmetries and graph decompositions based on low-rank updates. He will also discuss approximation methods for cases where the graph structure alone does not provide enough acceleration. These include direct transform approximations using Givens rotations\, as well as indirect methods that rely on more favorable graph structures\, such as spectral sparsification. \nThe seminar will highlight how these approaches can improve the efficiency of graph-based signal processing methods and support applications in image and video coding\, graph machine learning\, and related fields. \nAbout the speaker \nAntonio Ortega is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and EURASIP\, and currently serves as Vice President of Publications of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. \nHis research focuses on graph signal processing\, including sampling\, reconstruction\, transforms\, learning\, and compression\, as well as multimedia and 3D point cloud compression\, distributed and error-tolerant compression\, and information representation in sensor networks. \nHe has supervised nearly 50 Ph.D. students\, authored more than 400 publications\, and published the book Introduction to Graph Signal Processing with Cambridge University Press in 2022. His work has received several distinctions\, including the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Award\, the ICIP Best Paper Award\, and the IEEE Communications Society Leonard G. Abraham Prize. \nRegister here!

Firms in a Fractured Global Order” DESCRIPTION:This conference is organized by Jeremy Ghez and Olivier Chatain (HEC Paris) and Paul Charon (IRSEM). \nA year ago\, we asked whether firms were actors or bystanders in a fragmenting world. The conversation has moved on. Trade has not collapsed\, but the financial architecture is straining. Industrial policy is back. AI development is pluralizing. Trust in institutions keeps eroding even as companies shoulder more of the social weight that governments once carried. The question is no longer whether the world is fragmenting. It is whether what we are watching is a system breaking apart or a system rearranging itself\, and what that distinction means for the firms living through it. \nThis second edition brings together academics\, think tank researchers\, business leaders\, and policymakers to take stock. Three panels will examine where global risk now sits\, how shattered the world really is once you look past the headlines\, and what firms are actually doing about it. \nThis is a unique space for like-minded professionals who don’t necessarily meet elsewhere to share views and insights about what they’re seeing on their side of the planet. \nRegister here!

Yet its promise is matched by pressing societal challenges: how to design systems that are robust\, ethical\, aligned with human values\, and respectful of privacy and fairness. Meeting these challenges requires attention to both algorithms and the social contexts in which they are deployed. \nThis two-day interdisciplinary workshop convenes researchers from across disciplines to advance these discussions. By bringing together perspectives from computer science\, engineering\, economics\, and the social sciences\, it aims to foster dialogue\, collaboration\, and innovation. \nRegister HERE.
