Les intelligences artificielles au prisme de la justice sociale / Considering Artificial Intelligence Through the Lens of Social Justice

Les Presses de l'Université Laval, Laval University Press

Cet ouvrage collectif s’inscrit dans le cadre des travaux de la Chaire justice sociale et intelligence artificielle Abeona-ENS-OBVIA. Il propose une réflexion multidisciplinaire sur les enjeux des usages de l’intelligence artificielle, mais surtout à partir d’une perspective de justice sociale. Le concept de justice sociale permet d’inclure des dimensions, principalement saisies par les sciences sociales et humaines, et qui ne sont pas traditionnellement associées aux technologies d’intelligence artificielle. Cela permet alors d’appréhender des dimensions telles que la justice et l’équité, mais aussi la solidarité ou encore la dignité ; ces dimensions constituent de puissants outils de changement social lorsqu’ils sont mobilisés par différents acteurs. Les contributions de cet ouvrage mettent en évidence des réflexions quant à la mise en place de conditions sociétales et de pistes d’action pour un déploiement des technologies d’intelligence artificielle en respect des sociétés humaines.

This collective book is part of the work of the Abeona-ENS-OBVIA Chair in Social Justice and Artificial Intelligence. It proposes a multidisciplinary reflection on the challenges posed by the uses of artificial intelligence, above all from a social justice perspective.

The concept of social justice allows to include dimensions that are not traditionally associated with artificial intelligence technologies, and which are primarily addressed by the social sciences and humanities. This makes it possible to comprehend dimensions such as justice and equity, but also solidarity and dignity; these dimensions constitute powerful tools for social change when mobilized by different actors.

The contributions in this book highlight reflections on the definition of societal conditions and avenues of action for artificial intelligence technologies deployment in respect for human societies.
