Without passing judgment, the goal is to understand how we have come to become friends with machines and what kind of future this might suggest.</p>\n<p data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"966\">Born in 1997, Morgane Baffier is a lecture-performance artist whose last name derives from the old Occitan word <em data-start=\"701\" data-end=\"707\">bafa</em>, meaning “scam,” and this information may be important for understanding her work. Using charts, fabricated images, and videos sourced from the internet, she develops all kinds of theories and metaphysical reflections, pushing them to the point of absurdity.</p>\n<p data-start=\"968\" data-end=\"1347\">She lives and works in Paris. A graduate of ENSAPC in 2020, her work has since been presented at MAC VAL (2025), the Palais de Tokyo (2025), the Art & Design Center of Fuzhou in China (2024), the Théâtre des expositions at the Beaux-Arts de Paris (2023), the 66th Salon de Montrouge in Paris (2022), the Mulhouse Biennale (2021), as well as at La Graineterie in Houilles in 2023.</p>\n<p data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1440\">The event is open to everyone and will be followed by a friendly wine-and-cheese reception.</p>\n<p data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"1499\">Additional information is available on the CRIHN website.</p>",

Our goal is to give teams from partner journals involved in the project the opportunity to better understand AI systems and to gain practical tools for the qualitative (and quantitative) evaluation of the tools and algorithms that are transforming your professional practices. Each session is based on a 30-minute presentation focused on a theme illustrated with cases directly related to the role of journals (e.g., understanding complex AI architectures such as RAG and agent-based AI, evaluating automatically generated abstracts, understanding common myths about AI).</p>\n<h2 data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"885\"><strong data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"885\">Schedule</strong></h2>\n<p data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"984\"><strong data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"984\">February 12: Introduction to Complex System Architectures Integrating “AI” – Alexia Schneider</strong></p>\n<p data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"1497\">This first session is a theoretical introduction to current systems that integrate LLMs into their operations.

In light of various linguistic and cognitive theories, we will discuss the most appropriate level of description for understanding how these models elaborate, manipulate, or simulate meaning.
