Accumulations et accélérations : le totalitarisme informatique II
- Seminar in french - Éreinté par le quotidien capitaliste et solitaire, l'individu en quête de confort -

The seminar ‘Accumulations and accelerations: Le totalitarisme informatique II' is pleased to invite you to the second session of the series, with Nicolas Santolaria, journalist at Le Monde, author of Comment j'ai sous-traité ma vie, Allary 2017.

Accumulations and accelerations : Computer totalitarianism II

The attendance at the 10 sessions of the first seminar session dedicated to the all-encompassing grip of computing and the increasing number of critical publications on the subject justifies a second session. It will explore several falsehoods: "dematerialization" proves to be ecologically burdensome and humanly oppressive; the emancipatory prophecy of the Internet conceals an unprecedented centralization and bureaucratization; virtual currencies are a chimera, and "artificial intelligence," as foolish as other machines, masks issues of power and profit. It also obscures the main danger, namely that human intelligence may become mechanical and that individuals may lose their inner life.
