Subproject 11 - Empowerment of Marginalized Peoples

Start – 2019 | End – 2024 Duration – 5 years

The development of technologies in the field of justice creates the risk of neglecting the vulnerability of certain individuals, a notion closely linked to human empathy. It is therefore necessary to identify the tensions generated by these technologies among vulnerable populations. Initiatives aimed at integrating ethics with artificial intelligence could make it possible to better develop these technologies in their cultural dimension.
