Artificial intelligence, neurotechnologies and algorithms are permeating everyday life. As their influence grows, how can free, critical and autonomous thinking be preserved?

As the boundary between human and machine continues to blur, distinguishing reality from the artificial is becoming increasingly difficult. In a world saturated with screens, disinformation and artificial intelligence, algorithms shape the way we think and act, often invisibly. As democracies grow more fragile and strategies of cognitive influence proliferate, how can we safeguard our cognitive integrity and resist, both individually and collectively, this expanding technological grip?

In the presence of the directors.

Temps présent : IA mon confident mortel

Artificial intelligence, now omnipresent and largely unregulated, has begun to profoundly reshape human lives. Its conversational agents, such as ChatGPT, both strikingly convincing and highly practical, are designed to foster dependency, collect data, and blur the boundary between reality and the digital world. By confining individuals within algorithmic bubbles, their use can lead to addiction, isolation and even suicide, while directly threatening democratic processes. Is this so-called “friend” truly benevolent?
