Objectives
How Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (DS) transform how firms do business?
In the digital era, data is the ultimate change-maker, and the leaders in the market are engaging with data through state-of-the-art innovations in business analytics.
The goal of this Area is to understand how to use data to engage with customers, improve business processes, design better products, manage various risks, and solve the innumerable wicked problems of society. Research in this Area proposes to advance research on various aspects of AI and DS that will significantly contribute to the well-being of individuals, organisations, and society.
For Indranil Bose, director of the Area, “The AI, Data Science and Business AE promotes collaborative research among colleagues interested in studying innovative uses of AI and DS in a variety of application areas related to business. Our focus is on understanding transformative technologies, evaluating their impact on businesses and consumers, and overcoming current and upcoming challenges through smart solutions. We perform impactful research using quantitative as well as qualitative techniques. We organize seminars, workshops, industry talks, and discussion groups to support our research endeavor.”

Chairs, partners, and funded projects
The AE includes two externally funded research projects:
- AdoptBlockChain (Grand Est Region) , whose goal is to study the adoption of blockchain technology and its impact in the supply chain context.
- AI adoption in Reims Firms (Grand Reims), whose goal is to evaluate the use of AI technologies by local industry and farmers, to understand the resistance to use and assess the business impact of AI adoption
The AE also integrates the SPOC Institute. Created in 2015 with an applied research orientation, the goal of SPOC Institute is to better the adoption as well as the societal and business consequences of the development of robotics.
