« Our society is facing three crises. A social crisis as soon as the spread of a weak ultra-competitive AI in front of us. An ethical crisis, when neuroaugmentation becomes necessary. An existential crisis at last, when AI challenges us in who we are as individuals and human beings. The school - or rather the institution that will succeed it - will have the task of responding to these three challenges. »

« The school, in its current form, is going to die. What remains to be determined, however, is the more or less painful way in which it will disappear. If it is too resistant, it risks preventing children, especially those from smaller backgrounds, from quickly enjoying the benefits of unprecedented access to intelligence. Above all, we must understand that the reinvention of the school will be the condition of a much more fundamental rescue: that of all humanity. For the new school we are going to invent will allow us to meet the immense challenge of our usefulness in a world soon saturated with Artificial Intelligence. »

« The philosophers of the enlightenment of the 18th century described a bright future, free from the weight of religion, full of promise. Tomorrow would be more beautiful: freer, more modern, more ethical. Conversely, computer scientists who appeared from 1950 have always had a reputation for being polarized geeks - sometimes wrongly - of being Asperger's-type autistic. From the 1980s on, the roles were reversed. Computer scientists have become carriers of an enchanting discourse, magnifying the future powers of Man. We will become immortal, we will colonize the Cosmos, we will decipher our brains. »
