Invisible, algorithms are omnipresent in our daily life: health, commerce, telephony, weather forecast, or even a dating site ...

Many services use these prediction algorithms, in other words stir up large amounts of data and use them for us provide an automatic response to a problem.

And sometimes, but not always, artificial intelligence trumps natural intelligence, that of humans.

Hence the fear, the fear, even the fantasy ... of being eaten by the one we fed.

So, should we be celebrating or worrying about this technological progress?
