These major philosophical and therefore social issues must be framed to avoid any drift in the public and private use of AI algorithms. In order to avoid the biases and perverse effects of the current rush towards AI, whose gadget dimension is significant (connected objects and other conversational agents), national and European regulatory provisions have been adopted for the last 5 years.
