Our research follows 7,547 researchers, builders, lab leaders and public voices through cited biographies. Missing career records can lower counts. Outdated roles can overstate current counts and change ranks. Citation figures count 1 of the 1 people here now. People whose OpenAlex record may be incomplete or mixed are left out. Publication numbers from OpenAlex, as of 22 October 2026. Career and profile data as of 22 October 2026.

We estimate that 7 people shaping AI have worked or studied at Aix-Marseille Université, including 1 (14%) here now and 6 with former affiliations. That total covers 5 people with work roles and 2 recorded only as students. Its 2 tracked sub-organizations are led by Centre de Recherche en Psychologie et Neurosciences (1 ever, 0 now) and Institut de Mathematiques Luminy (1 ever, 0 now). Among 3,127 universities, Aix-Marseille Université is tied for 501st by all-time people and tied for 495th by current headcount. Language and speech leads 4 areas of expertise (3 of 7 people with profile topics). Dated work records span from 1979 to 2025. Across dated career transitions, we record 2 full moves in and 7 out, led by departures to CNRS (2).

CNRS is the largest destination for departures (2 full moves), across 2 moves in and 7 out.Full moves into (2) and out of (7) Aix-Marseille Université, grouped under top-level organizations.
