Following the project of the Province of France, with the aim of reducing the digital knowledge gap, the communications team proposed a first videoconference for all communities to raise awareness about Artificial Intelligence.
On Wednesday, December 10, 2025, from 7:45 to 9:00 p.m., around sixty participants gathered around Frédérique Chéry, a mathematics teacher at Assomption Bondy. With great pedagogical clarity, he introduced us to the various possibilities offered by artificial intelligence, as well as its challenges and key issues.
This first meeting—both simple and ambitious, warm and well attended—reflects a clear intention: to remain engaged with current developments, without giving in to fear or to passing trends.
The objective was not to “create specialists,” but to provide solid reference points: what do we really mean by AI? How does it work? What does it already contribute to our practices? And above all, what safeguards are needed to ensure that technology remains at the service of the human person?
The session alternated explanations and practical demonstrations: text generation, translation, image creation… offering a clear sense of the power of these tools, while also highlighting the need for discernment and critical thinking.
Significant time was also devoted to the limitations: biases, risks of use, human responsibility, and environmental impact—all topics that call for an attitude of clarity and awareness.
Beyond the content itself, this first meeting conveys something essential: the sisters remain attentive to a rapidly changing world, to the transformations affecting young people, education, and society, and they choose to engage through understanding, dialogue, and formation.
During the Q&A session, a question from Sister Elisabeth Françoise, aged 90, caught our attention: how to install AI on her tablet… This opened a meaningful pedagogical explanation, engaging directly with AI while reflecting on responsible use. A promising introduction that already sparks interest in a next meeting.
