Cartooning for Peace presents a new educational tool to facilitate discussions on the issues at the heart of artificial intelligence deployment, always with humour and… intelligence!
The spectacular success of the ChatGPT conversational robot, launched at the end of 2022, has revealed a glimpse of the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence (AI): for better or for worse? Awareness of the need to establish a framework for the development of AI seems to be growing rapidly. This technological advance raises vast ethical, legal, political, economic and environmental questions… Human questions, in short, since it is disrupting all spheres of our lives. In 2024, Cartooning for Peace published the book ‘Artificial Intelligence: a (r)evolution?!’ by Gallimard.

A FREE ONLINE EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR ALL EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS
By offering an overview of artificial intelligence, its challenges and potential consequences for society – particularly in terms of human rights – Cartooning for Peace aims to encourage a critical and civic-minded approach to the ethical development and use of AI.
This educational tool consists of several complementary elements
An exhibition in poster form (to be printed in A3 format), consisting of fourteen press cartoons from around the world, illustrating various themes related to human rights: ‘AI, help please?’, ‘True or false?’, ‘My data, my choice!’, ‘Robots at work!’, ‘Out of inspiration?’, The planet is overheating!”
A document containing activity sheets to be distributed directly to young people to explore the themes covered in greater depth (additional press cartoons, key figures, information, activities, quizzes, etc.).
A document intended for education professionals to help them get started with the educational tool. This project is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the BNP Paribas Foundation and the French Development Agency.
Videos developed with a group of young people mobilised by the Francas des Pyrénées Orientales (66) in which young people talk about their use of AI and the potential risks associated with it.
WORKSHOP-DEBATE
Work on the educational tool can then lead to meetings with press cartoonists in the form of workshop-debates.
For all workshop-debate requests, please download the form, fill it in and send it to ateliers@cartooningforpeace.org.
Thanks to the support provided by the BNP Paribas Foundation and its connections with some of its key partners, the exhibition will be shown in various locations:
– At BNP Paribas premises, for staff (Paris, January–April 2026).
– At L’Ascenseur, a coalition for equal opportunities that brings together various actors from the private, public, and social and solidarity economy sectors, of which Cartooning for Peace is a member (Paris, January 2026).
– At La Maison de l’Apprendre, an association that works to address current and future challenges in lifelong learning and skills development (Lyon, March 2026).
Two projects will be organized around this exhibition with the Paris local missions network
and the second chance schools network in the second half of 2026.
For each network, they will include several stages:
All these activities will be carried out in the presence of a press cartoonist and a member of the Cartooning for Peace educational team.
This project is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the BNP Paribas Foundation and the French Development Agency (AFD).
The videos featuring young people’s testimonials were produced in partnership with Francas des Pyrénées Orientales in Perpignan (66).
