AI Week 2026: France Mobilises from May 18 to 24
From May 18 to 24, 2026, all of France is mobilizing for the AI for All Week, an unprecedented national event designed to bring citizens closer to artificial intelligence. More than 1,500 events will be organized across the entire territory, with the ambition of raising awareness among at least 50,000 French citizens about the challenges and opportunities of AI.
A national event under the sign of education
Organized under the high patronage of Anne Le Hénanff, Minister Delegate in charge of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Affairs, the AI for All Week is part of a proactive government approach: democratizing access to artificial intelligence technologies and removing barriers related to mistrust or misunderstanding.
The starting point is telling: according to figures shared by the organizers, 85% of French people want to learn about digital tools and AI, but only 44% actually trust them. The AI Week aims to bridge this gap between interest and trust, by offering accessible formats for all audiences.
1,500 events, all across France
From practical workshops to public conferences, interactive demonstrations and free webinars, the AI Week 2026 program is designed to be inclusive and decentralized. The goal is clear: to leave no territory behind in the digital transition.
Among the participating actors, you will find:
- Digital mediation associations that will offer introductory sessions in libraries and community centers;
- Companies and startups opening their doors to concretely show how AI is transforming their industries;
- Schools and universities organizing open days around AI training programs;
- Media and public actors highlighting educational formats accessible to the general public.
Why does this initiative come at the right time?
Artificial intelligence has entered the daily lives of millions of French people at a disconcerting speed. Conversational assistants, image creation tools, writing assistance, task automation at the office... The uses are multiplying, but understanding of the mechanisms often remains unclear to the general public.
Faced with this technological acceleration, it is becoming essential to train and inform to prevent abuses: disinformation, deepfakes, algorithmic biases, unanticipated job losses. The AI for All Week proposes precisely a space for dialogue and learning so that every citizen can form an informed opinion.
"AI must not be reserved for experts. Every French person must be able to understand, question and use these technologies with full confidence."
How to participate?
To find events near you, a dedicated website lists all the activities organized throughout France from May 18 to 24, 2026. Whether it is an hour of discovery or a full day of training, there is always a format suited to your schedule and your level.
Several themes are proposed:
- AI and work: how artificial intelligence is transforming professions, what skills to develop;
- AI and society: ethical issues, regulation, personal data protection;
- AI and creativity: generative art, creation tools, new forms of expression;
- AI and health: assisted diagnosis, personalized medicine, confidentiality issues;
- AI for seniors and young people: formats adapted for every age group.
A supportive European context
The AI for All Week is part of a favorable European context. The AI Act, the European regulation on artificial intelligence that came into force in 2024, now imposes transparency and security obligations on companies. Understanding these rules is becoming a civic as well as a professional challenge.
France is thus positioning itself as a driving force in spreading a responsible digital culture, combining public awareness and ambitious industrial policy in the field of AI.
An opportunity not to be missed
Whether you are curious, skeptical, enthusiastic or simply a beginner, the AI for All Week 2026 is a unique opportunity to better understand a technology that is already shaping our world. Do not miss it: from May 18 to 24, 2026, all across France.
Check with your town hall, library, local association or employer to discover the events organized near you. Artificial intelligence is waiting for you — and it is far more accessible than you might think.
