History
From a Paris-based founding project to an international portfolio in applied AI, data science and connected technologies.
2023 · Foundation
AI2 – Applied Institute of Artificial Intelligence was founded in Paris in November 2023 as a private higher-education institute dedicated to applied artificial intelligence, data science and connected technologies. From the outset, the institute chose a practitioner-led model: programmes built around projects, industrial case studies and work-study integration.
2025 · Quality and certification
In January 2025, AI2 obtained the Qualiopi certification for its training actions (certificate QUA008116), the French national quality standard for training providers. AI2 programmes prepare for professional titles registered in the French RNCP at levels 6 and 7; each programme page links to the official France Compétences record of the title it prepares for.
2026 · International portfolio and partnerships
In 2026, AI2 published its international programme portfolio, taught in English: two final-year BSc routes, three MSc pathways with a shared foundation year, and online certificates. The institute signed memoranda of understanding with Trinity College of Engineering & Research, Jaipuria Institute of Management and Sambhram, held institutional meetings with Campus France India, and contributed a keynote at Symbiosis University of Applied Sciences in September 2026. See the academic partnerships page.
