Statement made by David Lisnard on October 23, 2026. Topic: AI in Schools. The observatory also publishes quotes from 12 other public figures on this topic.
in the age of AI, we will need culture, critical thinking and the ability to decode the world even more. Hence the importance of mathematics and the humanities, but also, as I have implemented in Cannes, of teaching philosophy and artistic and cultural education from the earliest age.
Original quote (French)
à l’âge de l’IA, nous aurons encore davantage besoin de culture, d’esprit critique, de capacité à décoder le monde. D’où l’importance des mathématiques et des humanités, mais aussi, comme je l’ai mis en place à Cannes, de l’enseignement, dès le plus jeune âge, de la philosophie et de l’éducation artistique et culturelle.Source: unenouvelleenergie.fr · archived copy
