  Seminar - Science studies

  Philosophy, History and Sociology of Artificial Intelligence

  The purpose of this seminar is to position itself at the center of the scientific, epistemological, technological and societal transformations that the developments of artificial intelligence engage. The seminar we propose therefore aims to study AI in its technological / scientific duality, through its historical, philosophical, epistemological, ethical and sociological aspects. In order to understand the modern stakes of this discipline, we will consider it here as defined in its historicity, but also as a scientific tool, tool of knowledge and transformation of knowledge, of understanding, finally as a socio-cultural entity in interaction with its environment, whether it is human or non-human.

  The role of the scientific argument in communication strategies tackling sensitive issues

  Le recours à la science apparaît comme une stratégie nouvelle de communication sensible. Il se réalise en communication d’acceptabilité, de risque (Motulsky, 2018) de crise, ainsi que sur les sujets à forts enjeux sociétaux. La communication corporate et d’influence, les relations publiques, sont particulièrement concernées. Le recours à la science comme argument communicationnel s’inscrit comme argument d’autorité (Latour, 2011) utilisant trois modalités ; le recours aux publications scientifiques comme outil de preuve de ses messages, l’association de scientifiques reconnus, même en dehors du champ disciplinaire concerné, la promotion de publications via des instituts créés dans un objectif de légitimation des points de vue, cette dernière hypothèse s’effectuant aux frontières des méthodes d’astroturfing.

  Minimising Risks, Selling Promises?

  Reproductive Health, Techno-Scientific Innovations and the Production of Ignorance

  Over the last decades, medical techno-scientific innovations have radically transformed reproductive processes at every level by putting the reproductive body under strict biomedical surveillance and submitting it to significant technological manipulation. Most of these innovations, often promoted as miracles and even revolutions, were generalised very rapidly thanks to ever-growing national and global markets. Their side effects on health were, however, insufficiently studied, or even ignored, until scandals (diethylstilbestrol, thalidomide, primodos, Dalkon Shield) or controversies (contraceptive pill, hormonal replacement therapy) unavoidably made them public. At the crossroads of STS, sociology of risk, medical anthropology, gender studies and ignorance studies, the aim of this international conference is to analyse the dynamics of ignorance production prior to, during but also after the rapid expansion of reproductive technologies, innovations and products.
