Yacine Aslimi

Biography

Yacine Aslimi is founder and Head of Pedagogy at AI2 — Applied Institute of Artificial Intelligence, an RNCP and Qualiopi certified AI school. He founded AI2 based on a simple conviction: France lacks operational AI professionals, and existing programs are either too theoretical (universities), too short (bootcamps), or too expensive (grandes écoles).

With 15 years of experience in data science, machine learning and digital transformation, Yacine has worked with companies of all sizes — from CAC 40 giants to tech scale-ups — on their AI operationalization. He has also trained more than 1,000 professionals, from junior Bachelor graduates to executive managers.

Convinced that apprenticeship is the royal path for AI (professional experience + state diploma + 100% employer-funded), he structured AI2 around this model: 80% of AI2 students are in apprenticeship, with a 96% placement rate within 4 months and a 92% professional integration rate within 3 months after graduation.
