Abstract As is the case in the literature, the addition of a mathematical concept to a corpus of formal libraries typically gives rise to several variants of definitions, most often equivalent but not always. Unfortunately, transposing the formal theorem …

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 explores the question of revolution, going beyond a strictly political reading to consider its cultural and intellectual dimensions. Revolution is seen here not just as an upheaval of legal or institutional structures, but as a more …

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 It is not well known that Japan fought as one of the Allied powers in the First World War, as Japan was a naval alliance partner of Britain from 1902. At the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, Japan attended it as the fifth largest great power in …

Abstract Wetlands are the world's largest reservoirs of carbonaceous organic matter. They help mitigate extreme climatic events (floods and droughts), purify water and preserve biodiversity. However, 85 % of wetlands were lost in three  hundred  years ; …
