Cross-cutting theme within ISIR

Challenges

ISIR research focuses on socio-technical and socio-cultural issues:

  • Robotics: evolution of work exceeding human capabilities
  • AI: task automation and societal damage
  • Neuroscience: understanding morality, ethics and decision-making

Objectives

Our main objective is to explore our objects of study (within Robotics, AI, Neurosciences) beyond their techno-scientific dimension and promote their cultural dimension, with the following specific aims:

  • Change points of view and step out of our cultural comfort zone
  • Study interactions with techno-scientific cultural imaginaries
  • Question tacit elements linked to the choice of our subjects and methodologies
  • Question the uses of technologies and how they are perceived by non-expert audiences
  • Enhancing the value of our technical heritage

Approach

We propose to bring together artistic and scientific practices.

We also want to diversify our scientific dissemination strategies
