meet up
While artificial intelligence is a hot topic, its prescriptive role is much less questioned—especially regarding recommendation algorithms that select the information we are exposed to on addictive platforms. This informational diet shapes the decisions European citizens are expected to make for themselves and their countries.
How can we make informed decisions about our future if our ability to access information is managed by American or Chinese tech giants, whose leaders show little interest in ecological limits or democratic processes?
Fortunately, there are tools to help us find the right information and make decisions in the best interest of the public.
Featuring: Jean-Lou Fourquet, trainer and content creator for the YouTube channel Après la bière. He is also the co-author, with Lê Nguyên Hoang, of 'La dictature des algorithmes', analyzing how recommendation algorithms promote divisive and sensational content, and how we can build systems that serve the common good.
