France

The Responsible AI Chair at Université Grenoble Alpes is a multidisciplinary initiative dedicated to the study of AI regulation, governance and conformity. Anchored in the Multidisciplinary Institute in Artificial Intelligence (MIAI) Cluster and associated with AI-Regulation.com, it explores the legal and policy frameworks shaping trustworthy AI, with particular expertise on the EU AI Act, the GDPR, platform regulation and the protection of fundamental rights. Recent research has also focused on virtual assistants and AI chatbots, including the confidentiality of user conversations, the treatment of highly sensitive disclosures, and the governance challenges raised by health-related uses of AI. The Chair also serves as a platform for dialogue between academia, regulators, industry and civil society on emerging AI challenges in Europe and beyond.
