Culture de l’IA : penser la force du plus grand nombre

Pas un jour ne passe sans que l’intelligence artificielle ne fasse la une de l’actualité, et cela, depuis presque un an. Je n’ai eu pour ma part de cesse d’expliquer combien il s’agit là d’une révolution de premier plan, comparable à l’électricité ou aux télécommunications. Mais pour que cette révolution advienne, l’appropriation collective de cette technologie est indispensable pour la mettre au service d’un projet de société. Cela doit donc s’accompagner d’un dispositif de diffusion au plus grand nombre.

Digital Tech: Europe's Growing Gap in Eight Charts

Despite major efforts in recent years, Europe and France are not on a reassuring trend in digital technologies. Between 2005 and 2019, the share of French digital R&D in the world fell from 6% to 2%, with Germany doing even worse, falling from 8% to 2%. Whether you count in Unicorns or in invested venture capital, the figures, even with strong growth, are on a similar trend: they are falling in proportion to the international environment.

Les entreprises traditionnelles peuvent-elles devenir des plateformes digitales ?

D’une certaine manière, la crise du COVID-19 a été un excellent outil de passage aux rayons X de l’ensemble de l’économie française. Il y avait ceux qui y arrivaient et ceux qui n’y arrivaient que péniblement. Au sein des entreprises tertiaires, certaines sont parvenues à faire travailler leurs salariés de chez eux tandis que d’autres, dont des administrations publiques, ont eu toutes les peines du monde à mettre cela en place.

How to reconcile ecological and digital transition?

In recent months, greenhouse gas emissions from digital technologies have taken an important place in the media, in particular due to the publication of reports with explosive conclusions. Thus, the reports of the Shift Project and the High Council for the Climate both mentioned a significant increase in the environmental externalities of digital technology. While these figures have been the subject of significant controversy (see below), they have had the merit of showing how much this subject remains largely unknown.

Sandworm

Why would one read a fiction if reality is even more stupefying? That feeling has been shared by those who, like myself, read Sandworm: being destabilized by the extent taken by cyberwarfare in interstate conflicts, by the blatant weakness of some of the most essential economic systems such as energy plants, distribution networks, postal system, food supply chain, railroad network.
