Ethical issues cannot be limited to models: they must extend to the creation of the data that drives them, i.e. to all of our online behavior. […] We generally focus on the direct reception of our messages, but we must bear in mind that we contribute indirectly – through the models we train – to answering our contemporaries’ questions, writing their texts, teaching students, guiding policies, etc.

Human Intelligence, the Secret of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is mysterious: we speak to it and it seems to understand what we say. Proof that it understands is that it responds with text or speech that makes sense, and sometimes more sense than an ordinary human could articulate. How is this possible? The Success of Language Models Certainly, research on artificial intelligenceLire la suite « Human Intelligence, the Secret of Artificial Intelligence »
Humanism and artificial intelligence
If humanism was born with the alphabet in a literate environment and was reborn with the printing press, what becomes of it when digital technology becomes the dominant symbolic technology?
Knowledge Representation and Semantic Interoperability with IEML
This is the text of my keynote speech at the Knowledge Graph Conference, 8th of May 2024 If you want to watch the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM-WB5kNv_A Today, the whole world is rushing toward statistical AI, Neural Models and/or Generative AI. But we know that, though these models are useful, we still need symbolic models or,Lire la suite « Knowledge Representation and Semantic Interoperability with IEML »
Towards Reasonable Agents
How can we graft symbolic encoding and decoding capabilities onto a neural model that can initially only recognize and generate sensory forms or aggregates of signifiers? This challenge is reminiscent of the process of hominization – when biological neural networks became capable of manipulating symbolic systems – which is not to my displeasure.
Artificial Intelligence at the Service of Collective Intelligence
My wish is for a digital memory that will enable us to cultivate diverse and fertile ecosystems of ideas and reap the maximum benefits for human development.
THE DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERE
Let’s think about the new digital public sphere. I will begin by discussing the anthropological and demographic context of the public sphere shift into the digital environment. Then I will analyze the original forms of memory and communication supported by the new medium. I will then evoke the figures of domination and alienation specific toLire la suite « THE DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERE »
IEML in Global Medical Communication
What is IEML ? IEML – Information Economy Meta Language – is a mathematical language with the same expressive power as a natural language. It has a dictionary of 3000 concepts plus a regular grammar allowing to build recursively an infinity of sentences representing concepts and relations. Properties 1 and 2 make IEML the mostLire la suite « IEML in Global Medical Communication »
Semantics, artificial intelligence and collective intelligence
How does language work? On the receiving end, we hear a sequence of sounds that we translate into a network of concepts. This is what we call « understanding the meaning » of a statement we hear. On the transmit side, we have in mind a network of concepts – a meaning to be conveyed – that we translate into a sequence of sounds.
IEML for Digital Humanities
IEML is a programmable modeling and indexing tool, capable of ensuring semantic interoperability, without standardizing the different points of view.
