本次交流活动在友好开放的氛围中顺利开展。中法两国学生围绕各自国家在数字化进程中的成就与挑战、政府及其他社会力量在技术发展中的角色，以及工程师如何更好地参与公共决策等议题进行了深入探讨。具体交流内容涵盖多个方面，例如新能源汽车在不同国家的普及情况、相关法律法规及公众态度的差异；人工智能在司法系统中的应用与公共政策的结合；以及在此次中国调研过程中参访的企业与工厂，引发了关于工人工作时长与工作模式的广泛讨论。

在数字化与人工智能议题中，同学们还聚焦了当前前沿的大模型技术，如中国的 DeepSeek 与美国的 OpenAI。在比较这两种技术体系的发展路径时，大家讨论了开源与闭源模式的优劣、国家在算法治理中的介入程度，以及技术创新与伦理监管之间的平衡问题。这类交流让同学们对全球技术竞争与合作的格局有了更深刻的理解。

此外，双方同学还分享了各自的工程师教育经历与科研学习体会，包括法国矿业工程师团的培养模式，以及对于未来职业发展的规划——如是否攻读博士学位、是否进入科研领域等。同时，大家也探讨了数字技术在工业领域的实际应用，这些分享内容兼具思辨性与启发性，进一步增进了彼此对技术、教育与社会的理解。

The exchange was carried out in a warm and open atmosphere, fostering deep and engaging discussions between both sides of students. Topics centered around each country’s achievements and challenges in digital transformation, the role of governments and other social actors in technological development, and how engineers can better participate in public decision-making. Discussions touched on a wide range of specific issues—for example, the adoption rates of electric vehicles in different countries, the relevant legal frameworks and public attitudes; the integration of artificial intelligence into judicial systems and its implications for public policy; and observations from company and factory visits during the French students' visit in China, which sparked lively conversations on working hours and labor models.

Another highlight of the exchange was the focus on cutting-edge large language models, such as DeepSeek and OpenAI. Students compared the two approaches, discussing the pros and cons of open-source versus closed-source models, the level of state involvement in algorithm governance, and how to strike a balance between technological innovation and ethical regulation. These discussions deepened participants’ understanding of the global dynamics of AI development and digital governance.

In addition, students shared their respective experiences in engineering education—such as the unique program of the Corps des Mines—as well as their thoughts on academic and career development, including whether to pursue a PhD, enter the research field, or move into industry. They also explored the practical applications of digital technologies in industrial contexts. The exchange was rich in thoughtful perspectives and sparked new ideas, fostering a deeper appreciation of the intersection between technology, education, and society.
