Co-penser avec l'IA

Et si l’intelligence artificielle n’était pas là pour vous remplacer, mais pour penser avec vous ? C’est l’idée centrale de « Co-penser avec l’IA », une mini-série d’AI Swiss et d’Alp ICT.

En cinq épisodes, cette série propose des pistes concrètes pour aider les PME suisses à intégrer l’IA générative dans leurs opérations quotidiennes, en s’appuyant sur le concept innovant de co-pensée humain–IA.

IA qu'à !

La co-pensée avec l’intelligence artificielle est la méthodologie centrale d’AI Swiss, qui plaide pour intégrer cette approche aux programmes scolaires. Mais concrètement, quels services l’IA peut-elle vraiment rendre dans notre quotidien ?

Dans cette série RTS, François Jeannet (« On en parle ») rencontre des membres d’AI Swiss pour explorer plusieurs usages concrets de l’intelligence artificielle.

L'intelligence artificielle en vue

AI Swiss a été fondée peu après l’arrivée de ChatGPT en novembre 2022. L’association vise à combler le fossé entre l’IA et le grand public. À travers conférences et rencontres, AI Swiss mise sur l’éducation pour apprendre à co-penser avec l’IA.

Il faut façonner l’IA plutôt que la subir

Un guide en ligne gratuit nous apprend à maîtriser l’intelligence artificielle, plutôt que d’en être des consommateurs passifs. Mode d’emploi avec Charles-Edouard Bardyn, cofondateur d’AI Swiss.

L’épuisement du jugement : le coût caché de l’autonomie artificielle

Charles-Edouard Bardyn (AI Swiss) affirme que le vrai danger de ce siècle n’est pas la révolte des machines. C’est la résignation des humains.

Intelligence artificielle : le mirage de l’autonomie

Face à l’IA, faut-il inventer une science de la fiabilité dans ses interactions avec les humains, ou chercher à réduire ses erreurs à un niveau tolérable ?

"All Things Emergent"

The blog of Charles-Edouard Bardyn

A space where complex ideas meet clear thinking. Here, Charles-Edouard Bardyn explores the intersections of AI, science, and society with the mix of precision and curiosity that defines his approach.

Expect reflections that challenge conventional narratives, sharp analyses of emerging research, and probing questions on how intelligence, human or artificial, can evolve responsibly.

FAQs

I’m a teacher. How can I introduce AI to my students responsibly?

Teach students that AI models are powerful but probabilistic systems that require human intelligence to guide them effectively. Our education framework develops the fundamental literacy of our time: how to provide clear context, critically evaluate AI outputs, and maintain active engagement throughout the dialogue. Students learn to shape AI behavior through structured communication while staying alert to errors, transforming them into confident orchestrators who amplify their own intelligence.

Do I need to know programming to use AI?

No. The essential skill is guiding AI through clear communication and structured thinking. Our co-thinking framework teaches you to provide context, define workflows, and validate outputs through dialogue. You shape AI behavior by organizing information intelligently and lending your judgment at every step. This is accessible to everyone because it builds on fundamentally human skills: clear communication and critical thinking.

How can small businesses use AI without big budgets?

The breakthrough isn't expensive tools, but a systematic approach to knowledge work. Our co-thinking method teaches your team to progressively refine information with AI during daily operations. Meeting transcripts become structured notes, notes inform project plans, plans guide execution. Each step compresses knowledge intelligently, building a living organizational memory that AI can effectively leverage. No data scientists required, just smarter collaborative habits.

Will AI take away my job?

Not necessarily. AI will automate certain tasks, but it will also transform your role into what AI fundamentally cannot do: provide real-world context, exercise human judgment, and verify outputs against reality. AI systems lack embodied experience and cannot reliably self-verify. Our co-thinking framework trains you to be the essential human in the loop who guides the collaboration, catches errors, and ensures outputs serve actual needs. This makes your expertise more valuable, not less.

Is AI safe? What about data privacy and bias?

AI models today cannot reliably verify themselves. They hallucinate, inherit biases from training data, and lack grounding in physical reality. Our co-thinking method addresses this by keeping you actively engaged to catch errors and guide the AI with your judgment. For data privacy, we strongly recommend local AI workspaces where files remain on your device and you control exactly what AI model you use and what it can access.
