noticed how much the future
close to us, it’s my niece
elise who pointed it out to me one night
she could not sleep I
will tell the story of minority
postponement
hoping that those cars that get
lead alone that the cells
of police who predict crimes
go make it dream and in reality
she found it super ordinary as if
the world that had imagined philip
k.dick for 2050
in fact he had already made
2017 and I felt like
elect me we did not have the
same time design as where
I was almost convinced that the weather
was always something
linear than the present and is the
consequence of the past and the cause of a
future
I had the impression that for her everything
was happening as if time flowing from
future to come and provoke the present
be superimposed on him getting confused and
So 2050 is good 2017 so elise
asked me good it’s nice tone
stitch your story there but what is it
after me I was very embarrassed because
that I do not know the continuation of
minority report I do not think there is any
so I say to myself I do not know how to listen
imagine tell me but no what is it
after the future and since it’s me who
does not sleep anymore because it’s a
extraordinary question that no one
arises when the future is already there
because our imagination is saturated
of a sci-fi that drool and
which is going somewhere slower than the
real then design the time always
like something linear does
that wanting to always go straight
and faster
everything happens as if we were running on a
conveyor belt
that is to say that we are standing still and
indeed, even one of the innovations
the most extraordinary of our
era hyper magnifying glass testifies although
to go always faster
you have to always go straight
at the speed of sound certainly but in a
blind tunnel that prevents from looking
other possible ways always go
faster but never create two
new destinations especially not at
opposite connect cities that
already exists and killing the distance
shrink the world so we have
the impression that in the illusion of
innovation under the progress facing
planned obsolescence
we accelerate but without transforming
the world really earlier in the
always repeating a little faster
especially since our generation is
faced with another acceleration
that of machine intelligence is
the only future we are promised is
that of singularity that moment where
all of us will eventually be overwhelmed
by machine intelligences and where
to survive
we will have no choice but to
merge with it super future we
we promised with a futurist like
recurring revel for 2045 and bad
new he finally changed
it’s getting closer it’s for 2029 then
as we always try to speed up
still this one story one builds
robots that look like us
mirrors of ourselves with two arms
two legs when cats would be more
effective but everything is fine because they
can resume exactly the
activities that we already had so
necessarily when I ask a young person
generation of researchers on their
future with artificial intelligence
90% of them sending the image of
fantastic terminator moment where one
realize that eventually they themselves have
the impression of programming their own
ground and meaning not to dare narrated
look for another story
and strangely one has the impression
actually that the prophecy is
realize that we are getting closer to
machines less true say because the
machines are growing
intelligent than because in reality
is sometimes thanks to her we become
more and more cons as with this
great faith dance game that I
nevertheless advise all those who
play regularly
everything happens as if we are simulating a
machine that stimulates us to win
points
so that’s for sure we’re moving
towards a singular future that of a life
machines where everything converges and
so what’s next after this future is nothing
there is ultimately the end of humanity
as we know it today and
there is what recursive to the call
the unimaginable
yet I want to believe that when we
reaches the end of the segment where the
future and the present meet us
have an extraordinary opportunity
not to fall in fear or to
continue to run on the spot smothered
by techno gadget but to
get out of the arrow of time for
open the range of possible futures
so to do it you will have to
reinvent boldly think the
future more human no longer seek to
only accelerate a single line
but well thought all these future
possible to distribute them
equitably in our world and then
we understand
it will not be a job of intelligence
convergent computing power but
well a duty of imagination to think
plurality rather than
singularity he’ll have to do it all
together the advantage is that
someone already did it and it’s not
elon musk but leonard of vinci
this man with an overflowing imagination
that his contemporaries think has come from
future because he imagined projects
like flying boats that we do not
realized that some
decades later but in reality
her imagination she was nurtured by
true knowledge in the
science the arts the humanities and
it’s at their intersection
that they could really innovate
radically the problem is that
after leonard de vinci the world
opening up became more complex to
point that no one today can
pretend to know everything
maybe that’s the biggest
opportunity of intelligence
artificial allow us to
transform information chaos
surroundings in actionable knowledge
to better understand the world and act
differently on him then we
think of intelligences
artificial that opens ways
plural that increases us
instead of reducing us to the machine
for example the generative design
completely transforms today the
work of a creator where you
had to draw a drone in thought
2 3 bedtime on the paper before the
achieve
you can now on this software
retrieved the flight settings from your
machine
the machine will offer you some
thousands of possibilities among which
you can choose which one you
should realize the designer is
spent a few creative parts at
curator his imagination and like
increased by the machine but
artificial intelligence could
also allow us to organize
to complete our collective intelligences
you know since 2012 on minecraft of
hordes of players do this online to
simulate existing cities to
test new projects and if
today we were completing this
intelligence of an intelligence
artificial who could learn from
these behaviors and allow together
to multiply these worlds but especially
for badly defined problems
in our humanity seek to
solve in parallel worlds
solutions find the solutions that
we will go catch up to realize them
here even then together we
build an intelligence
artificial plural and run towards
the plurality that diverge and increases
but finally what is it after the
future what is certain is that
today we do not ask ourselves
question because we’re good at these
obsessed with the future itself and its
speed
and to tell the truth, it is not the
first time
because little aside we fell
into this trap a century ago already
you know Italian Futurism had
promised that to open the doors wide
novelty
it was necessary to accelerate more and more
quickly on the same straight line burned
the past run to the future and on the
way obviously converge with the superman
but after their future there was only
the justification of ignoble eugenics
of the time
yet a few decades later
another literary movement this one
proposes and not to accelerate on the
timeline but to come out for
create worlds
it was magical realism that did not
did not see in the intelligence
artillery is leading something
fantastic but who thought about
contrary that the world was hard and
of a soul and that every part of the world
was smart differently then
in our day where we believe he
just connect a pen with his
fridge to his car at the red light enough
to make the city smart can
to be that reconnect with this animism
do not have ignorance but of the
knowledge will allow us to explore
plural intelligences already at
humans outside in nature
why not just others to
human aliens that would allow us to
consider intelligences
genuinely complementary
ours to better understand the world
explore it by creating new ones and
maybe have a new design
of time because you know to
the cosmos scale
there is little time yet humans
considered looking at the line
right of the horizon that the earth was
flat
and if today we were wrong
yet again in our conception of
space but time
if tomorrow was not just the
logical continuation of today and if we
could be entrusted to our imagination
the duty to think of all futures for
collectively go
the one we want to achieve and
retrospectively backwards since that
future choose the one
that we will build today
then we would do together
future an end but future a way
serving the present and its future
so elise what is it
after the future I hope it’s you
who can answer this question
to show us some day
years after the future there was
good two best present
[Applause]
