Abstract AI-driven decision-making is often evaluated in terms of individual human judgment - are algorithms faster, fairer or less biased than humans? In this talk, I challenge this framework, arguing that the most appropriate class of comparison for …

Abstract The aim will be to reflect on the opacity of AI models and how so-called "explainable" approaches (XAI), often post-hoc, could be improved by shifting the focus from causal explanation to explanation by …

Abstract The explicability of artificial intelligence (AI) is often presented as essential for the adoption of these systems by physicians. However, its usual approach has two limitations: on the one hand, the lack of anchorage in concrete professional …

Abstract Recent applications of music-generating AI can now generate pieces of different musical genres with unexpected levels of expressiveness. An old and common criticism of algorithmically generated music stems from its supposed inability to express …

Abstract Generative AIs today offer textual, musical or pictorial productions of "artistic" content, which are used by Internet users and professional artists alike. But beyond the new tool on offer here, with its advantages, biases and risks, is there …

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 Computer-aided proof is attracting an ever-wider audience. Hitherto over-represented in the field of computer science, where it was born, it has begun to arouse a certain enthusiasm among mathematicians. However, the two   communities do not …

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 …
