Development and Promotion of AI

The call for proposals launched by the MIAI to support the development and promotion of AI projects provides funding of up to €15,000 for projects lasting one year.

As part of this call, the MIAI has funded more than 45 projects. The list ofMIAI projects,sorted by theme, is provided below.
