« Economist Alfred Sauvy remarked, "Don't complain that technical progress destroys jobs, it's made for it." At the end of the 19th century, the threats to coachmen, farriers, water carriers, lamplighters, lavenders, tailholders and blacksmiths were fairly well perceived. On the other hand, no one imagined that in the future there would be microprocessor designers, geneticists, nuclear physicists, cardiac surgeons, airplane pilots, webmasters, astrophysicists. The deeper the revolution, and the more dizzying the revolution we are experiencing with NBIC technologies, the more difficult it is to anticipate the countless new trades. However, there is no shortage of revolutionary assumptions: baby designer, neuro-hacker, planet terra-trainer, neuro-educator, AI psychologist, etc. »

« The transmission of knowledge cannot mean the same thing in the 21st century as before. At the end of the day, his problem has been reversed: it is the adult who must now be introduced to new technologies and to whom we must inculcate the new reading keys of the world. This is not to say that young people no longer need education. The content of the knowledge needed to understand our world needs to be rethought: NBIC technologies are becoming an essential knowledge of the honest man of the 21st century. Above all, the school itself, as a technology for the transmission of intelligence, is already an outdated technology that is living its last moments. »

« Deep learning uses supervised learning, like a baby, but its internal architecture is different. With his "neural network", he implements a virtual machine composed of the thousands of units that are these digital neurons. Each performs small, simple calculations. It is the aggregation of these billions of small calculations that gives the power and ability to interact, the engine of artificial intelligence. And artificial intelligence needs to make mistakes to learn. Errors of which we understand less and less well the origin. »
