“…As Latour claims, AIME is less a scientific project and more an ‘inquest’ whose aim is to generate interest among non-academics in collective work: artists, designers, activists, and the general public (cf. Latour, 2012: 959–60; Latour and Davis, 2015: 51).…”

“…Furthermore, diplomacy involves designing new institutions that would generate previously invisible beings and maintain their existence. Institutions are important for Latour in this context because they protect against a hegemony of one mode of existence over others, for instance, the hegemony of science over religion, politics, technology, and morality (Latour, 2012: 953). This constructive effort with heterogenous entities is one of the key characteristics of Latour’s diplomacy.…”

“…And, he adds, that ‘[j]ust because we universalized too quickly does not mean that we should not universalize’ (Latour, 2012: 956). This common world, ‘the promised land of universality’ (Latour, 2002: 29), is particularly important for Latour because it emphasizes that the process of world-building requires constant attention and concerted effort.…”

Recent debates within broadly considered posthumanities have been populated by various conceptual personae. One such figure is the diplomat. First proposed in this context by Isabelle Stengers in her Cosmopolitics series, the diplomat has been subsequently taken up and further developed by Bruno Latour, particularly in his AIME project, and most recently by Baptiste Morizot in Les Diplomates. This article traces the metamorphosis of this conceptual character in the work of Stengers, Latour and Morizot. As all three versions are relatively close to each other, this article proposes three companion figures: the heretic (for Stengers), the designer (for Latour) and the amateur (for Morizot) that allow us to carefully examine the differences between, and the specific stakes of, each iteration of the diplomat. Furthermore, the article critically evaluates the theoretical pertinence of the diplomat figure for each philosopher’s project and considers its potential for thinking about the future of our more-than-human worlds.

La diffusion foudroyante de ChatGPT a fait monter d’un cran la panique que les débats sur l’intelligence artificielle, et notamment sur la moralité de leurs performances linguistiques et communicatives, qu’ils suscitent depuis plus d’un demi-siècle. Dans cet article, nous développerons ce questionnement en deux temps. D’abord, nous proposons une anthropologie documentaire des grands textes d’encadrement éthique sur l’IA, focalisant sur ses impacts sur la communication au travail. Après avoir fait ressortir les spécificités de l’approche universaliste de ces textes, nous examinons trois cas d’usages d’agents conversationnels et des machines communicantes au sein de contextes professionnels, documentés par des entretiens avec usagers, usagères, concepteurs et conceptrices. L’objectif est de montrer que l’analyse ethnographique des pratiques permet de mettre en évidence des éthiques situées remettant en perspective les principes d’une approche universaliste à la communication machinique. Ce qui conduit, en conclusion, à repenser le rôle-même du chercheur ou de la chercheuse, moins « expert·e » et énonciateur, énonciatrice de règles et de principes, et plus porte-parole analytique de son terrain.
