Thematic Selection - Do Artificial Intelligence Dreams of Electric Sheep?
Since Antiquity, people have been thinking about creating machines that can imitate human reasoning. The term "artificial intelligence" was introduced in 1955 by the American mathematician John McCarthy.
Over the last twenty years, progress has been lightning-fast and AI is already everywhere: education, health, justice, leisure, arts, public policy, banking, etc.

The Sciences Po library offers a wide range of resources from the HSS disciplines to explore this theme, which can be summarised as follows: What is a human being? What limits should be placed on the man/machine distinction?
