Kyiv Polytechnic sets up partnership with Institut Polytechnique de Paris
Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has formed a scientific partnership with Institut Polytechnique de Paris, encompassing six prestigious French engineering schools: École Polytechnique, École nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC), ENSTA Paris, ENSAE Paris, Télécom Paris, Télécom SudParis.
The cooperation begins in the area of research and development of artificial intelligence, which is of great relevance to both Ukraine and the whole world. Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has great traditions and achievements in this domain. For instance, Prof. Oleksii Ivakhnenko, the first head of the Department of Computer Science, developed the world’s first algorithm for training deep multilayer neural networks, being at the outset of the modern understanding of AI.
One of the key components of cooperation with the Institut Polytechnique de Paris is joint research projects and investigations that aim to benefit not only both institutions but also society at large. The level of such research clarifies the understanding of both medium-term future in particular and the problems of technological singularity in general.
French partners fully understand that only prompt and ingenious solutions can be an asymmetric response to the challenges Ukraine faces during the ongoing full-scale invasion. The scientific community at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute laser focuses its efforts on developing engineering and technological responses to these challenges.
Prominent scientific schools should share their experience, insights and visions. This partnership is important to both institutions and will play a vital role in the development of artificial intelligence in the years to come.
