it’s February 22, 2030
my son louis bercy nor wakes up on
his favorite jazz stroll
a piece of brad mehldau if you
know nae lover he is addressing his
home automation assistant
elvis and told him screw super choice for a
Monday morning you could not better
suffer and aim a you could me
iron my gray suit please
the one for special occasions because
that I have an appointment at 8 am with
my director meeting I would like that
it’s going at best
elvis answers him then I try to
take the sail a home automation assistant
it’s not easy a little nasal way
a little robotics
sorry louis it’s not going to be possible
you have exhausted your energy quota
you know the one imposed on us by
the coop 32 more clairvoyants and your production
solar was not terrible this
week not shiny at all ok ok ok ok
I live ok good beh bomb and I will take
my usual costume but on the other hand you
could prepare a vehicle
autonomous
so I know I could take the
autonomous collective minibus but a monday
morning traffic in Brussels is
a bit complicated I really do not
want to arrive late to which yes
I prepare you your autonomous vehicle
had right this week to two
autonomous vehicles and remains a
the trip will last more or less a quarter
from hour to 7:45
hold you down for the journey I
also prepare
toaster your coffee not too sweet tone
coffee glucose and stress you know that
do not mix
thank you thank you elvis time is going
he is returning to his vehicle
autonomous whoever will bring him to his
go and they peel it
these records obviously for his appointment
you with his manager by a quarter
time
i must tell you louis work in a
notary office it is not obviously
why he has this interview peels
these records and while they
peel and folder it can not
to stop looking through the windows
of the vehicle and to marvel as
every time in these cities of the
complete disappearance of any sign of
signaling of all red lights
obviously become totally useless
so these super vehicles
intelligent and who in addition are talking to each other
coordinates his panel of
signaling the code of the road it’s
something for humans is something
to overcome human failures
driving at the time of vehicles
intelligent vehicles and
relationship no longer needed code of the road
that the road is a cheesy thing
code of the road it’s a human thing
and louis to wonder about the possible
disappearance of any form of
legislation for humans
as soon as his algorithms are there
to do better he continues to actually
peel all these folders still in
preparation for this meeting
and he hears on the radio news
he hears that American UAVs have
makes 3000 victims at 50 km from Beijing
3000 big dog know the latest robot of
the lethal weapon generation this
Chinese company that makes these
robots he arrives at his boss’s
his boss the welcome I would not say
necessarily with a good day mine
early a sullen mine louis
sit down the news I have to
give you are not very good
you know this famous shane blocks
chain blocks we’re talking about which one
had been talking for years
years of years
louis unfortunately seven blocks china
huguen of our of our works the
company will have to get rid of the
is notary work a bit like
Banker’s job
what does it consist of
write and realize think of contracts
authenticate them
and then of course make sure of their
good and due execution the notaries
act as a trusted third party and
you know louis 7 blog
one night all this at the end we have everything
algorithms ise time the realization
contracts that their trust
the algorithms today and the internet
act as trusted third party
for a very long time louis the
trust was human thing that’s
finished today we grant more than
trust in the algorithms that men
imagine obviously at the head of luiz
is not a very good news so
louis goes back to his office
packs his stuff an office that goes
must have deserted so he packs his
packets he makes his cartons
he is in a rage
he is angry he rushes on his
smartphone and he sends a message to his
dulcinea syria me I am licensed
four-point murder desires
of exclamation he can resume
now the autonomous collective van
has more need to take the car there is
more really urgent it is it happens
at home and when he’s getting ready
to walk through the door is seen
suddenly seized in the body by two malabars
of the precogs generation that
vary by the shoulders
louis versini you are in condition
arrest
that’s obviously who remembers
his message desires for murder
obviously predictive police that’s it
it’s a scenario for 2030
do you want to live a
day like that it’s obviously a
question you would end up asking yourself
but where does this Cenacle come from?
this reflection is good because in
can we start from two observations
a black statement a pessimistic observation and
then a statement a little more joyous
optimistic finding then the black finding
you will probably share it
that we still feel that
times are hard as the world goes
not very well that for 20-30 years the
earth loses a little ball and you
do not go very well the world of rails
and that we have the impression that there is more
no one today who is able to
put it back on track anyway
no more governance system
humans as we know them
seems able hammam to hand over this
world on the rails
and if this world of rails is because
that it comes too complex
he is won by a complexification
growing know us physicist
computer scientists what’s called the
complexity is when we put together
realities that detaches and
locally would be viable would still be
controllable but when you put them
all together you create all donations
in fact we manage to escape the
that virtually become out
control
unpredictable for example the junction
the collection of individual interests
do not do good like do not do
public interest because of
stowaways because of people
who cheat and who diverts the
company to their benefit the web
of short- term issues does not realize
not the long-term goals
there again the junction of the microphone
local realities does not satisfy the
global and with this complexification
obviously we are subject to
the set of threats I’m going to nothing you
to learn we can not stop talking about it
of these threats environmental threat
the most incredible tragedy of the commons
that our that our time is in the process
live global warming and
all of course all the disasters
environmental ensuing threat
economic endless succession of
economic crises
there too we create systems of a
great systemic fragility by
example the banks one of the systems
banking banks lend themselves
mutually
it is sufficient for one of them to
bankruptcy and it entails in its downfall
all those connected to it
the explosive inequalities one has beautiful
write essays one after the
others complaining is selling me these
inequality
but nothing helps, we do not manage to
jean we can not control these
inequalities societal threat we have
already talked about earlier explosion
of communitarianism soaring
terrorism it’s not actually a painting
very very happy and now
a more positive observation I am
computer scientist and as
that computer scientist and I am
computer scientist I work in
artificial intelligence since almost
thirty years as a field here
computer scientist working in these
areas
we can not fail to marvel
in front of everything the computer
today be able to do
best chess player best day
2 go you hear each time his
exploits are relayed in the press
best poker player best
players a game
US but our worth
in French would be question for a
champion best drivers thank you and
will mix it and some of the best and
so here is a computer
extraordinarily intelligent supra
super smart cognitive call him
some the computer not only
smart but nestles everywhere
which invades every corner of our
existences
all objects can be equipped with
this intelligence of objects that no
only are smart are everywhere
are ubiquitous but connect
between them can coordinate their
actions can synchronize their
actions for two involves
this social harmonization
when you put these two findings and
when you join them and envied
strong and that’s actually what I’m going
argue up to a point
envied strong to think that these
solutions are the solutions the
IT solutions solutions
algorithmic would be the one that
would obviously respond to
these threats
technology is here to help us
to face it
of course that certain conditions he
would have to accept these texts and this
acceptance that will make debate it
would have to accept up to a certain
not to entrust our lives to
algorithms would have to agree to
submit there again until a certain
point a big brother called the title of
my intervention to big brother but a
big brother obviously digital and a
big brother benevolent a big brother
whose only motivation would be
to align individual interests
with that of the community
the price to pay is that its
algorithms obviously would lock
padlock would shut down some of our
freedoms
but obviously for an issue
transcending a higher stake
which is the societal stake at stake
which of course we will have to
to agree is not about that
these algorithms invents even
social cost functions it’s up to us
to decide to deliberate
but did his algorithms have
effective is that their power
execution and their power of
coercion may be greater than
that of any other form of
legislation and no doubt seen the urgency
the urgency I was talking about we
would have no other recourse
for the execution of these constraints and
of these restrictions of freedom to
entrust to his algorithms us
then entrust our lives to a
dictatorship form digital dictatorship
and I want to say a soft dictatorship
safe according to both acceptance of
soft term because sweet and
benevolent and soft because software
we will then spin our lives and
we will become like this will be my
last picture we should accept
to take a little place of truman
as you know in the famous truman
show truman
as you see on the picture life in
total bliss displaying a species
of smug happiness in a world yet
which is totally caliber is
totally formatted which it is
impossible to escape the walls
algorithmic saw the analogy the walls
algorithmic are there but gives to
its inhabitants a kind of happiness
infinite
the question I’m asking obviously
will we accept to entrust our
existences at this digital big brother
soft benevolent and I really think
it is urgent to answer them
because if we answer him no and
if we do not find ourselves going to see the
answer it’s quite possible that
other big brother but this time
a lot less soft style for example and
gaf has blunder at the front
positions of this digital dictatorship they
have everything in hand to achieve this
digital dictatorship yet they are
software but there would be other big
brother much less benevolent of
simple dictatorship that could find
answer
so I reiterate and I will end by
it
answering this question the
algorithms or other big brother
a lot less kindly thanks
hop
