Sorbonne's AI college for humanities students

What if AI education wasn't just for engineers and computer scientists, but for every student, regardless of their field? That's exactly the bet Camille Salinesi is making at one of the world's most iconic universities.Camille is a full professor of computer science at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he has been based since 1999. A specialist in requirements engineering and applied AI, he has published over 250 peer-reviewed papers. He heads the university's AI Observatory alongside legal scholar Célia Zolynski.This autumn, he co-launches the Collège de l'IA — France's first undergraduate-level AI diploma designed not for STEM students, but for students in law, history, philosophy, economics, and the arts. The programme, backed by France 2030, will give bachelor students 200 hours of AI training layered on top of their existing degree.In this conversation with Svenia Busson, Camille discusses:Why AI literacy is as urgent for a law student as for a software engineerThe critical shift in information systems engineering from reliability to trustHow the Sorbonne is rethinking assessments in the age of AI — and why students themselves are demanding itThe difference between students who use AI to cheat and those who use it to learnWhat the future of software engineering jobs actually looks like
