The big picture
Introducing this ancient method in the current world
What is an algo?
A short outlook of the concept
Algorithm is one of the central characteristics of modern civilization because it has become the inseparable part of our life.
A brief history
Algorithm is actually a very ancient notion
Algorithms appeared during 9th century. Much has past since then.
What is AI?
AI is even harder than algo to trigger
Artificial intelligence is one of the fast developing branches of computer sciences.
AI: the big picture
What's at stake with artificial intelligence
Since AI is very tricky to define, understanding what it at stake takes some time. We did the job for you!
Another approach on AI
Trying out another vision of AI
In recent time we could observe lots of debate on whether AI should be seen as something beneficial or harmful to human species.
Algorithms nowadays
Triggering the state of the art
Where do algorithms hide?
A rapid overview of where are algorithms
Algorithms being, broadly defined, any set of logical steps taken to solve an issue, you can imagine that they are ubiquitous.
New justice opportunities
The new promises of Legal Tech
The disruption of the legal sector by the algorithm-based technologies is progressing following numerous other industries, which have already gone through those changes.
What is facial recognition?
An algorithm based technology
Facial recognition systems are widespread and take up different forms. They rely on complex algorithms with more or less specificities, but are the product of the combination of computer science and artificial intelligence.
Economics & algorithms
What economics can learn from natural selection?
As many science fields, the data revolution is transforming economic sciences. Thanks to recent developments in computer sciences, evolutionary algorithms are changing the way we are thinking economics.
Public administration
Tackling tax fraud
Ministries of Finances across Europe tend to be some of the most proactive administrations in the development of algorithm. The reason: great improvements in fighting the tax fraud.
Securities opportunities
What is Predpol
PredPol uses AI to help police departments prevent crime by predicting when and where crime is most likely to occur, allowing them to optimize patrol resources and measure effectiveness. But past that presentation, it raises questions on machine learning and human bias.
Decrypting algorithms
Discovering TransAlgo
The French government decided the creation by a dedicated state agency of a platform dedicated to advise lawmakers and algorithm developers and to bring more transparency about the algorithms used.
Perspective & debates
Questioning the long-term impact of algorithms
Algorithms, surveillance and authoritarianism
Are algorithms a threat to our freedoms?
New technologies undoubtedly made our lives better in many ways; but a world in which everything we do is automatically processed by computers can also be dangerous.
Moral and ethical coding in algorithms and the trolley dilemma
It's not all about coding
The morality is a recurrent problematical when it comes to autonomous devices. (How)
Should we teach ethics codes to AIs?
The many sides of the black-box: algorithms and their increase of discrimination
Discrimination is one of the major stakes in the use of algorithms
The models being used today are opaque, and incontestable, when they are wrong. Their discrimination bias remains largely unpredictable.
How algorithms are challenging the legal system
Algorithms raise many questions on justice
Are we witnessing the coming of an era where the human factor in the judicial system will become obsolete?
