It’s been more than a decade since we switched to a digital data society. Data has now become central as it serves to create, value and develop an increasing number of new services.This is only the beginning, because the movement is clearly towards a drastic increase in the collection of data, particularly in the context of deep learning and artificial intelligence, which are known to be very data-intensive devices.This technology, capable of simulating human intelligence, has taken a decade to establish itself. It simplifies us more and more of the burden of repetitive tasks thanks to machine learning.
The development of AI is a source of many promises. But its goals raise a long list of questions specific to each technological evolution. Indeed, the hypothesis of the “machine” taking power over the human being feeds fears about innovation.Artificial intelligence is no exception. It is not a technological coup on our way of life, but a questioning and an adaptation. Because innovation has the power to question our functioning and our habits. This reluctance to change can be explained in part by the velocity of technological time, which is much faster than our capacity – as a society – to adopt the new.
This time lag gives rise to fears.
