From 27 to 28 March, philosophy teachers from the Central and Eastern Europe Zone and North-West Europe and Scandinavia Zone met at the Lycée Français International Simone Veil de Düsseldorf for an exciting continuing education course, bringing together teachers from Switzerland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Austria, the UK and Belgium.
At the heart of the discussions: artificial intelligence (AI)A philosophical reflection that goes beyond technological considerations to question our relationship with thought, the machine and ethics.

Objectives of the course :
⏩  Understanding AI through a philosophical lens: In the tradition from Averroës to Hobbes, is AI a resurgence and concretisation of ancient ideas about the intellect and calculation?
⏩  Ethical reflection : What place is there for human beings in a world where machines seem to have an ever-greater role to play? How far can we delegate to the machine without losing our humanity?
⏩  New educational perspectives : AI offers innovative tools for teaching, but are they always relevant? How can we integrate them effectively into the classroom while remaining critical?

Around Félix TourmenteWith the support of the EF2D Philosophy Department, the participants reflected together on the contemporary challenges of AI, both theoretically and practically. The discussions led to a collective reflection on the impact of this technology on our way of thinking and teaching, while highlighting the ethical and pedagogical challenges it raises.
