The EDHEC Alumni AI Programme returns with new ambitions and fresh content!

The AI Programme, launched a year ago to introduce the EDHEC community to the challenges of artificial intelligence, is back this year with renewed ambition. More structured and collaborative, it is taking on a new dimension to support all alumni — from beginners to experts — towards a thoughtful, ethical, and strategic mastery of AI. 

Artificial intelligence has become part of everyday life. Rather than simply “undergoing” it, EDHEC Alumni invites you to understand, embrace, and use it as a driver for positive transformation. 

From awareness to transformation: A journey open to everyone 

The AI Program is open to all EDHEC alumni, regardless of their background, sector, or familiarity with artificial intelligence. It is based on a simple idea: enabling everyone to progress at their own pace, from discovery to practical application. 

This year, alumni will be able to choose from several complementary formats: 

• For beginners:

The “AI for Business” MOOC (available in French and English) will offer six to seven modular training sessions to understand the fundamentals of AI and explore its first concrete applications. 

A “First Steps with ChatGPT” Masterclass is also available. This is a 2-hour interactive online training session to help you get familiar with ChatGPT. 

• For intermediate profiles seeking a sector-based approach:

The AI Series offers monthly evening sessions led by experts on specific topics. These webinars explore concrete use cases of AI across different fields and open discussions on the challenges unique to each sector.
Some sessions may also be co-organised in person with EDHEC Alumni Professional Clubs, for an even more “business-oriented” approach and valuable networking opportunities. 

• For intermediate or advanced alumni:

The AI Boost sessions are short and dynamic formats (30 minutes at lunchtime) focused on practice: demos, workshops, experiments. A great way to build skills efficiently and integrate generative AI into your professional routine. 

A Club to Learn Together and Strengthen the Community 

Beyond the content, EDHEC Alumni offers a true collaborative space with the Data & AI Club. This club is the meeting place for the curious, enthusiasts, and experts who want to exchange, grow, and collectively contribute to the adoption of more human and responsible AI. 

Members will soon find a resource platform (replays, tools, prompts, insights) carefully curated by the Club’s ambassadors. You will also discover the AI talents of the EDHEC community through profiles, and a directory of experts and mentors will soon be available to foster connections between members. 

Strong Partnerships for a Bold Programme

To ensure the quality and expertise of the programme, EDHEC Alumni has partnered with leading organisations: 

• The Cité de l’IA Hauts-de-France contributes to the dissemination of AI culture across the region. 

• The EDHEC Augmented Law Institute brings its expertise on ethical and regulatory issues. 

• The Pilab EDHEC supports the design of the MOOC and the structure of the learning path. 

With this multifaceted AI Program, EDHEC Alumni pursues a clear ambition: to enable everyone to learn, practice, and transform their use of AI. The goal is not just to train, but to create a collective movement around a responsible and informed use of Artificial Intelligence. 

Our programme is constantly evolving. We want to develop it with you, in line with the community’s needs and interests.
