How can we reenchant digital technology?
Trials of the Century - season 4
Moderator: François Saltiel
With Anne Alombert, philosopher and member of the Conseil national du numérique, and Sébastien Shulz, digital sociologist.
With the participation of Charles Riondet, digital and open data project manager at Mucem.
Digital technology has invaded our lives. For better or for worse.
The omnipresence of screens, big data, artificial intelligence, connected objects, platformization: as digital technological advances turn all sectors upside down, they also invite us to seize these opportunities. Digital commons, free software, the virality of certain solidarity movements… new technologies also know how to create spaces for resistance and sobriety.
