On 24 September, Reporterre held an evening event with the theme "boycott artificial intelligence and its world." The discussion brought together a sociologist, an activist, and a professional from the digital sector to explore the environmental and societal challenges posed by artificial intelligence. The event's video is available for viewing. The development of artificial intelligence is currently following a trajectory that many argue is not sustainable. This is not only due to its high electricity consumption — even in a country like France, which has more electricity than it needs to move away from oil — but also because of the large quantities of minerals and water required by its servers. Massive data centers, which are spreading across France rapidly, represent the visible part of a shift into a new digital era marked by large-scale infrastructure and significant material demands. Clement Marquet, a researcher at CNRS and an expert on the environmental impact of data centers, pointed out that the interior of a data center has been deeply transformed by generative artificial intelligence. He noted that these changes have brought to light a problem that was previously not widely discussed. Data center projects are advancing in secrecy and at an accelerated pace, which makes it difficult for citizen and ecological organizations to challenge their relevance. In Rovaltain, in the Drôme, a data center project was temporarily halted by a preliminary injunction from the collective Assez DC, as explained by Anne-Marie Ghemard, a representative of the group. She highlighted the challenges faced by activists trying to slow down such projects. Benoît Piédallu, a representative of Quadrature du Net, emphasized the need to distinguish between different uses of artificial intelligence and to recognize that, as it is currently developed by a small number of American companies, it is not neutral in terms of public freedoms. In the second part of the evening, the association Data for Good provided practical advice on how individuals can "unplug" or even "poison" machines when possible. This approach aims to reclaim control over the forced development of generative artificial intelligence and to foster a spirit of resistance that is both joyful and collective. Paul Gabriel, from Data for Good, described this as a necessary and empowering response to the growing influence of AI.
