“…Indeed, our research has allowed us to observe a real proliferation of publications in AI ethics, whether they come from academia, professional backgrounds, governmental and non-governmental organizations, industry or the general media. Given the multiplication of publications in AI ethics and the fact that this corpus is constantly evolving, we have focused our attention more specifically on publications with a more general purpose and which, starting from a literature review dedicated to a particular field of AI ethics, aim for example to identify and analyze the main issues associated with this technology, (Mittelstadt et al, 2016;Tsamados et al, 2021), to identify the different approaches and schools of thought in AI ethics (Maclure and Saint-Pierre, 2018;Bruneault and Sabourin-Laflamme, 2021) or to list the recurring ethical principles in the numerous charters, declarations and guidelines that have been published in recent years (Jobin et al, 2019;Floridi and Cowls, 2019;Fjeld et al, 2020).…”

Since any training in AI ethics is first and foremost indebted to a conception of ethics training in general, we identify the specific requirements related to the ethical dimensions of this cutting-edge technological innovation. We show how a pragmatist approach inspired by the work of John Dewey allows us to clearly identify both the essential components of such training and the specific fields related to the development of AI systems. More precisely, by focusing on some central characteristics of such a pragmatist approach, namely anti-foundationalism, anti-dualism and anti-skepticism, characteristics shared by the philosophies of the main representatives of the pragmatist movement, we will see how the different components of the ethical competence - namely ethical sensitivity, reflexive capacities and dialogical capacities - can be conceived in a dynamic and interdependent way. We will then be able to examine the specific fields of training in AI ethics, insisting on the necessary complementarity between the specific moral dilemmas associated with this technology and the technical, social and normative (especially legislative) aspects in order to adequately grasp the ethical issues related to the design, development and deployment of AI systems. In doing so, we will be able to determine the requirements that should guide the implementation of an adequate training in AI ethics, by providing benchmarks for the teaching of these issues.

After a triumphalist phase, digital social media are now under fire for a variety of reasons: they are accused of collecting and circulating personal data, producing fake news, personalising messages (creating echo chambers), radicalising opinion, and disrupting election processes. The legitimacy of election processes and digital social media’s contribution to the public sphere are now being questioned, and it is important to document and analyse these new dynamics of political communication. In particular, we need to consider the role played by automation of the production and circulation of political messages through the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence processes. What is the impact of personalised messages on the public sphere and public opinion, and what is at stake when thousands of “personalised” messages can be automatically created and delivered through microtargeting? With the future of the sense of “vivre-ensemble” at stake, can critical approaches save the day?
