WORKING WITH AI OR DESPITE AI?

 Appel à communication en PDF

 

Since November 30, 2022, the irruption into the public of ChatGPT (Barlette 2023, Rowe 2023) has fueled multiple controversies on Artificial Intelligence (Zacklad and Rouvroy, 2022) by opposing the possibilities and the dangers, by opposing the new revolution industry and a media frenzy, by contrasting digital technologies and their energy cost, by opposing exaltation for novelty to skepticism about usefulness, by opposing creative innovation and its lack of control, by opposing solutionism and deliberation , by opposing progress and the fragmentation of society, by opposing performance and click workers, by opposing tasks and professions, by opposing massive data and abusive correlations, by opposing fascinating results and the banality of places common, by opposing business secrecy and the right to explanation...

For higher education, the media have continually reported abuses and cases of student fraud. For professions that rely on information and reflection (monitoring, advice, expertise, management, etc.), the media have comforted their audiences with anxiety-provoking forecasts in terms of task automation and organizational changes. The latest developments resulting from a race between digital empires therefore force us to renew the major questions of our discipline on AI systems: both on their uses (in decision-making, knowledge and communication) and on their management (in strategies, animation, control and security).

AI systems are, according to a definition from the European Union (2021), “software which, for human-defined objectives, generates content, predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing the environments with which they interact.” This definition has the advantage of emphasizing the (often hidden) feedback loops that result from the interaction between an AI system and the world in which it operates.

             In a stated desire for transversality, the positioning of this congress will be anchored on the interactions between AI systems and work in organizations. We therefore welcome communication proposals in various fields, and of course in the scientific and professional environment of Montpellier: health, IT and robotics, law, agriculture, economics, etc. To fuel this scientific reflection around AI systems, we are awaiting contributions which could notably address the following subjects (of course, the list is not exhaustive):

Working with AI systems?

  •      Progress, innovations, performances, research
  •      Governance of AI systems, regulation and/or legislation
  •      Ethics for AI? Accountability, transparency, ethics
  •      Digital sovereignty, security, vulnerability, digital commons
  •      Large language models, predict and/or explain

Work despite AI systems?

  •      Automation of the world, algorithmic management of work
  •      Rationalization of the world, algorithmic governmentality
  •      Digital pollution and/or digital sobriety
  •      Plagiarism, creativity, critical thinking, learning methods
  •      Digital responsibility, citizen protection, copyright
  •      Discrimination, externalities, digital divides

Working without AI systems?

  •      Attention economy, nudges, manipulations, massive distraction
  •      Technostress, resistance
  •      Facial and voice recognition, surveillance and/or repression
  •      Digital idiot, techno-mimicry, information bubbles, info-fools
  •      Citizen collectives, whistleblowers
