The more a publication makes people react, the more it is shared and the more it is highlighted. Whether it's Facebook or YouTube, these platforms showcase the most “engaging” content, which creates reactions. Social networks themselves play an important role in the acceleration of conspiratorial delusions, through their recommendation algorithms,breaking the last lock of sanity. Who wouldn't fall into a form of paranoia in such a context? And it's not over. These captures can contain, not deliberately, personal information such as SMS and be transmitted to the many actors of the advertisement ”. According to a study published in 2018, “Some unscrupulous companies take screenshots of their app usage without permission. The book reveals other little-known and extremely problematic practices.

Reasons, connected objects, such as speakers, or certain mailboxes, are monitored. This also tends to increase the level of paranoia on the Internet. "The fact of not being able to deny its existence with certainty is indicative of the opacity of the practices", analyzes the journalist. “I asked the question to 80 people for this survey and, even if it is prohibited, it was not so easy to have a definitive answer, says the journalist who however managed to get an idea.Īccording to several researchers and associations, the phones cannot be tapped for purely technical reasons: the battery would not hold up. Juliette Duquesne returns in particular to an insistent rumor in recent years that our phones record our discussions for targeted advertising. It is increasingly difficult to distinguish the true from the false in the practices of the major digital players.

And, often, the collection of this information is done on the backs of citizens. ![]() However, the collective imagination continues to attribute phantasmic capacities to it.īehind AI, there are mostly algorithms that stuff themselves with data to improve themselves. Talk about computing capacity would be closer to the reality of this technology. To give an idea, "the most successful artificial intelligences have less common sense than rats", underlined Yann Le Cun, director of research in artificial intelligence at Facebook (FAIR) at Station F in 2018. and questions the society we are building.įirst of all, the term "artificial intelligence" to speak of a machine is overused. The book addresses the limits of artificial intelligence - targeted advertising, algorithmic bias, surveillance.

The Human at the Risk of Artificial Intelligence , there are more immediate questions that deserve our attention. ![]() What if artificial intelligence was also causing a psychiatric wave? We tend to praise the merits of AI, to imagine a promising future made up of killer robots, superintelligence and augmented humans. The digital world, made up of surveillance and prediction algorithms, tends to create paranoia among Internet users. ![]() Returns to the limits of this technology and addresses its perverse effects, in particular the risk of creating a paranoid society, in the clinical sense of the term.
