De telles plateformes doivent-elles être considérées comme des « institutions discursives » ? Développent-elles les moyens pour réaliser cet objectif ? Nous montrons que c’est l’épreuve et le témoignage du caractère fragile et incertain de toute citation qui pourrait s’estomper.

Whether heralded as inevitable or criticized as reductive, this process of automation tends to be considered as concurrent to technology’s extension in general. By drawing on the social and technical history of machine learning, I would like to suggest that play offers at least one other way of framing machine learning’s development, one that could help foster other expectations and evaluations of machine learning performances. The genealogy of machine learning I will provide draws on certain historical tropes to problematize contemporary debates. I will distinguish two normative paradigms: automation and play. Each one expresses differing, albeit not incompatible values, expectations and objectives when evaluating machine behaviors and their interactions with human ones. Whereas automation pushes us to consider machines as ideally working by themselves, play requires a social and affective engagement whose outcome is always partially unpredictable. It helps account for the relative open-endedness, intractability and recursiveness of machine learning systems embedded in social practices. More specifically, I underline why play provides a sweet spot for thinking about performances such as those we are increasingly seeing in machine learning systems, that combine both rule-following behaviors and forms of improvisation upon those rules. Play includes automaticity as a level of behavior among others. The more general claim I am making is that play gives us a window onto a different history of machine learning and for imagining other forms of social interaction with and through technology.

This idea however is often limited to an instrumental approach of learning programing or even desktop work and is rarely articulated with other technical forms of knowledge and behavior. School systems are by and large lacking the « technical culture » even though they are the ideal places for such a culture to be institued. By drawing on the approaches of G. Simondon and L. Vygotsky, this article sketches some of the theoretical hypotheses and empirical directions for the development of a renewed technical culture within school systems in the age of digital technologies.

attributed to ‘‘algorithmic systems.’’ The technical normativity manifests itself through the lineage of technical objects.
The norm expresses a technical scheme’s becoming as it mutates through, but also resists, inventions. The genealogy of
neural networks shall provide a powerful illustration of this dynamic by engaging with their concrete functioning as well
as their unsuspected potentialities. The socio-technical normativity accounts for the manners in which engineers, as
actors folded into socio-technical networks, willingly or unwittingly, infuse technical objects with values materialized in
the system. Surveillance systems’ design will serve here to instantiate the ongoing mediation through which algorithmic
systems are endowed with specific capacities. The behavioral normativity is the normative activity, in which both organic
and mechanical behaviors are actively participating, undoing the identification of machines with ‘‘norm following,’’ and
organisms with ‘‘norminstitution’’. This proposition productively accounts for the singularity of machine learning algorithms,
explored here through the case of recommender systems. The paper will provide substantial discussions of the
notions of ‘‘normative’’ by cutting across history and philosophy of science, legal, and critical theory, as well as ‘‘algorithmics,’’
and by confronting our studies led in engineering laboratories with critical algorithm studies.

Algorithmic learning is generally presented as the automation of the predictive nature of our behaviour. Examining this trend, this paper highlights its cybernetic underpinnings and proposes an epistemological and social alternative that revives Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy. More specifically, it conceptualizes algorithmic learning through the prism of his image cycle theory, in order to develop a conceptual framework for analysing algorithmic learning as a social activity within which machine and organic, automatic and inventive behaviours are not distributed according to a pre-established ontological split, but are actively informed. This framework also lays the foundations for new sociological perspectives on algorithmic learning.

Two prevalent framings of technological normativity and transparency need to be overcome. First, algorithmic design seems convinced that accessing the behavioral level of interaction is coincidental with a greater level of truth and authenticity, as if the subject were incapable of speaking honestly of itself. Conversely, critics of the 'black-box' normativity imagine that being able to access the code, the written structure of the algorithm, we will unveil something of its essence. By reading Foucault's notion of techniques of the self, as exposed in L'Herméneutique du sujet, together with the cybernetic theory of feed-back and Simondon's philosophy of individuation, the author claims that users do not need to see through the algorithm nor see the actual workings of the algorithm, but that they need to be able to see themselves when using the algorithm.
