Artificial intelligence is becoming ubiquitous: writing, images, work, decisions... Presented as inevitable progress, it promises to relieve us of the effort of thinking and creating. But at what cost?

In this essential lecture, philosopher Éric Sadin expands upon the analyses in his groundbreaking book, "The Desert of Ourselves" (2025). He examines the historical shift represented by the rise of generative AI and the profound risks it poses to our fundamental human capacities.

By delegating the writing, creation, and interpretation of the world to machines, aren't we erasing human judgment? Are we entering a civilization where intellectual autonomy becomes secondary, even useless? What will remain of responsibility, critical thinking, and human experience if we abandon everything to algorithms?

💬 A major conference in dialogue with Mathias Humbert (Professor in the Department of Information Systems, HEC Lausanne - Unil).
