Artificial intelligence is profoundly reshaping labour markets, organisations and civic uses. The question is no longer whether this transformation will happen, but who will be able to support it methodically, at scale and without leaving any audience behind.
That is precisely the challenge MentivisOS and the Institut Collectif de l'Intelligence Artificielle (ICIA) have chosen to address together, by announcing a strategic partnership to deploy AI literacy programmes accessible to all audiences, across the whole country.
A partner rooted in the regions, national expertise in learning design
Based at Campus Cyber.AI Marseille, the ICIA is an association whose mission is clear: to enable everyone to understand the transformations driven by AI, to develop a critical view of its uses and to acquire practical skills to act. Its regional roots, its civic purpose and its network of committed stakeholders make it a natural partner for any serious large-scale literacy initiative.
MentivisOS brings to this partnership what it requires at operational level: proven expertise in learning design, an ability to structure upskilling paths adapted to very varied contexts, and a deployment infrastructure that can be mobilised with companies, CFAs, universities, local authorities and training organisations.
This partnership is not based on a declaration of intent. It is based on a clear division of roles between two organisations whose skills are complementary and whose objectives are aligned.
Three programme strands to address a real urgency
The first programmes developed jointly cover three priority areas.
The first is foundational AI literacy: understanding what generative tools really are, what they make possible, what they do not make possible, and moving beyond biased representations, whether rooted in fantasy or mistrust. This foundation of understanding is now a prerequisite for anyone in work.
The second strand concerns digital safety and critical thinking in the face of new risks: deepfakes, automatically generated disinformation, algorithmic scams, manipulation of information. These skills now belong to general knowledge, in the same way as knowing how to read a contract or identify a reliable source.
The third strand addresses changing occupations and career paths. AI is already transforming the skills expected in almost every sector. The workshops developed with the ICIA will help participants understand ongoing sectoral shifts, identify the skills that are gaining value and build adaptation or retraining trajectories consistent with market realities.
For participants wishing to go further, pathways to qualifying training will be offered, so that no one is left alone faced with a training market that has become difficult to read.
A collective and operational vision of AI
This partnership rests on a shared conviction: AI is not a subject reserved for engineers or large organisations. It concerns employees, freelancers, students, teachers, liberal professions and local elected representatives. Failing to understand its basic rules could quickly become as penalising as failing to master the basic uses of the Internet.
MentivisOS and the ICIA both defend an approach in which inclusion, digital sovereignty and the social impact of AI are not secondary values, but design criteria for the programmes.
The ambition is national. The starting point is Marseille.
