Why AIDEG 2026?

Artificial intelligence now occupies a central place in economic decision-making processes. Initially used to automate repetitive tasks, it is now involved in strategic functions such as forecasting, resource allocation and risk assessment.

Beyond its rapid diffusion, AI is profoundly transforming decision-making practices. It redefines the relationship between human judgment and algorithmic calculation, sometimes implicitly shifting frameworks of responsibility.

While these technologies strengthen processing and prediction capacities, they also introduce tensions such as model opacity, persistent biases, interpretability difficulties and growing questions regarding the legitimacy of the decisions produced.

"Under what conditions does the integration of artificial intelligence improve the quality of economic, organizational and public decision-making without weakening the requirements of responsibility, equity, sustainability and legitimacy?" — Central question of AIDEG 2026
