AI and The Last Question

What if artificial intelligence were to become the world's foremost researcher? At a time when algorithms are devising hypotheses, writing papers and solving equations, an urgent question arises: what place will be left for humans in the quest for knowledge? This book explores the vertiginous hypothesis of an AI capable not only of outperforming scientists, but of redefining science itself. Blending technical analysis, ethical reflection and philosophical questioning, the author questions our relationship to progress, knowledge and the very nature of intelligence. Through a rigorous dialogue with thinkers such as Nick Bostrom, Luc Ferry, Catherine Malabou, Étienne Klein and Jürgen Habermas, he draws a line between fascination and vigilance. But this is not a book of fear. It's a call to responsibility. To an enlightened cohabitation between humans and machines. To a reaffirmation of the role of education, criticism and culture in a world turned upside down by intelligent technologies. Can AI understand the universe better than we do? Can it replace us in our relationship with truth?
