Conference

Plenary Room / The Lighthouse

Les algorithmes promettent efficacité, simplicité, fluidité. Ils nous font gagner du temps. Ils nous facilitent la vie. Ils s’intègrent partout, souvent sans bruit. Mais à quel prix ? Sous le code, il y a des arbitrages silencieux : nos données, nos comportements, nos choix. Une matière invisible qui alimente des systèmes toujours plus performants, au risque de déplacer lentement notre pouvoir d’agir. Cette conférence propose une plongée lucide et accessible dans cette dualité contemporaine : entre confort et dépendance, entre optimisation et renoncement. Une invitation à ralentir, à observer les vagues… et à reprendre conscience du courant qui nous emporte.
