[#ScienceFriction] Un «plan Manhattan» pour la transition écologique: les scientifiques en débattent

Un collectif de scientifiques français appelle à un investissement massif dans la recherche de technologies décarbonées, comparable aux efforts fournis pour concevoir la bombe atomique. Nos trois invités s’affrontent sur cette idée controversée.

[#ScienceFriction] Mai 68, les sciences à l’heure de l’autocritique

Igor Babou et Céline Pessis font redécouvrir les réflexions contestataires élaborées dans certains #laboratoires français, dans les années 1970. Elles conservent leur pertinence, qu’il s’agisse des rapports de pouvoir internes à la science ou de son approche de l’impératif écologique.

Faut-il arrêter la #recherche ?

"La perte d’#autonomie dont se plaignent les #scientifiques, mais aussi les usages dangereux de leur activité, amènent à se questionner sur l’intérêt de poursuivre ou pas la recherche (ou de quelle manière alternative). Dialogue entre le biophysicien #FrançoisGraner et la philosophe des sciences #IsabelleStengers"

ABC Radio NationalAI ethics leader Timnit Gebru is changing it up after Google fired her (REPEAT) - ABC Radio NationalLeading computer scientist and co-founder of Black in A.I, Dr Timnit Gebru, was hired by Google to co-lead its Ethical AI team with another tech industry trailblazer Dr Margaret Mitchell. The team investigated the ethics of artificial intelligence to understand and prevent its potential harms. Timnit was the first Black woman the company had employed in a research scientist role. Then Google terminated her contract sparking an international outcry. Some 7000 industry colleagues and others, including thousands within Google itself, signed a petition protesting her departure. Then Dr Margaret Mitchell was fired too. Now Timnit is driving "community-rooted" artificial intelligence research free from what she describes as "Big Tech's pervasive influence". For RN Summer we're playing some our favourite programs from the past year. This program was first broadcast in April 2022.
