Abstract I'll report on a project I'm carrying out with María-Inés de Frutos Fernández to formalize the theory of divided powers. Discovered by Cartan in a context of algebraic topology, this algebraic tool was developed in the 1960s by Roby and is at the …

Abstract The classic epistemological questions revolving around the notions of trust, dependence and expertise in the acquisition of knowledge are today taking on a new twist with the emergence of what are sometimes called "epistemic technologies" …

Résumé Après avoir présenté ce que j’appelle le cadre des « limites de la raison » et situé l’IA au-delà de la limite supérieure de la raison humaine, j’examinerai si les sorties verbales des systèmes d’IA peuvent être considérées comme une forme de …

Abstract AIs are increasingly involved in the information processing processes from which we elaborate our beliefs. Under these conditions, it is legitimate to ask under what circumstances it is legitimate to consider that such processes are reliable and …

Abstract Starting from the idea that an epistemological shift from the identification of causes to spaces of massive data saturated with strong correlations characterizes both most of the algorithms encircling our lives - such as recommendation algorithms …

Abstract The linguistic and other productions of certain artificial intelligences are becoming increasingly similar to human productions. In this context, it often seems appropriate to attribute intentional states to these programs. Nevertheless, such an …

Abstract This session looks at the tensions and articulations between nationalism, socialism and cosmopolitanism. It examines how socialist movements have attempted to articulate the struggle for social justice with the national question, oscillating …

Abstract The latest advances in generative AI are based on a technique called "Chain of Thought" (CoT), which involves making the machine "think" before responding. This was originally a strategy used in queries addressed to classic Large Language Models …

Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) seem capable of sustaining discussion on all kinds of topics. There are three possible reactions to this observation. We can attribute to LLMs a form of intelligence, which includes a certain understanding of the …

Abstract This talk will present recent advances in therapeutic and biosensing materials, with a focus on translational pipelines for clinical application. We have developed scalable fabrication methods to create complex 3D architectures and …

Abstract Our lab has pursued development of methods to allow selective incorporation of diverse functionality into synthetic polypeptide materials. Specifically, we have developed synthetic methods that allow a robust variety of modifications to …

Abstract Amyloid fibrils interact with metal ions via metal-ligand supramolecular interactions whose energy is of the order of tens to hundreds of KBT. The occurrence of the 20 essential amino acids in food-based amyloid fibrils derived from inexpensive …

Abstract Polypeptides play a crucial role in areas like nanomedicine, where their biological function is governed by intricate structural features. Studying structure-activity relationships is essential to optimize polypeptide-conjugate designs, as minor …

Sam Stupp Samuel Stupp is Board of Trustees Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. He also directs Northwestern's Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine. Stupp's …

Abstract Self-assembling polymer-based nanosystems, particularly polymer micelle-type drug delivery systems (PM-DDS), have emerged as powerful platforms for the smart delivery of therapeutic agents. Constructed through the spontaneous organization of …

Abstract Even if new molecules are discovered to treat severe diseases, the clinical efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutics is hampered by drug resistance and non-specific biodistribution. Advanced nanodevices may overcome some of these limitations. …

Abstract Surface-initiated polymerization is a unique way to produce thin, functional polymer films. As polymer chains are grown from surfaces that are modified with initiators or chain transfer agents to mediate chain growth, this process ensures a …

With the active participation of Alma Mater Abstract Climate change is turning our societies upside down, giving rise to new forms of commitment, unprecedented questions about our collective responsibilities, and sometimes long-discussed technological …
