From the first experiments, the association between literature and computing has aroused enthusiasm, but has also provoked criticism. Confronted with the increasing influence of big companies on digital creation and reading, many authors and teachers have actually yielded to disillusionment. The objective of the archaeological exploration I propose in this article, is to step back from the ideologies that characterize both the fatalist and the enchanted discourses. I will examine some key steps in the relationship between literature and computers, focusing on the literary forms written and published on this device. I will also historical and contemporary works that take into account the evidences and the ‘unthoughts' of this complex relation, and illustrate the possibilities to explore the relationship between literature and computing in full awareness of the ambiguities and fields of tension.

The objective of this article is to propose an epistemological, political and sociological critique of artificial intelligence. We will show the links between the developments of artificial intelligence since the 1950s and the institutional mutations constitutive of advanced capitalism which result from a triple revolution: managerial, cybernetic and neoliberal. At the political level, the development of artificial intelligence has participated in the transfer of sovereignty from the state to the organization. At the epistemological level, we will see that this mutation has contributed to the disqualification of the letter in favor of the number, that is to say to the substitution of language by (computer) code. At the sociological level, this institutional transformation will participate in the implementation of a new algorithmic form of regulation of the social practice based on the automation of knowledge.
