Horizon 2030

Public algorithms don’t escape the all too French passion for its administration.
The 2020s and 2030s establish the extension of public algorithms within central government and local authorities because of fiscal austerity.

This double algorithmisation and automatisation of public action necessarily happened together with different solutions and tactics imagined by citizens and public servants alike to avoid, contest or take advantage of an algorithmic decision.

Whether they are ready-to-use services or good practices for algorithmic repurposing passed on ‘under the table’, this informal arsenal has grown over the years to answer the needs of all citizens.
