• Humans are keen to exploit benevolent AI

  Algorithm exploitation: Humans are keen to exploit benevolent AI: We cooperate with other people despite the risk of being exploited or hurt.

  Économie : la raison économique ou comment déconstruire les idées reçues Éloi Laurent est économiste à l’Observatoire français des conjonctures économiques. Pour lui le discours économique actuel est parcouru de fausses assertions, comme par exemple “la protection sociale est ce qui empêche la croissance économique”.
