How do you choose what you listen to or watch? This episode explores cultural discoverability: how algorithms, our digital practices and platforms influence the visibility and recommendation of the Quebec content you consume (or don't).

Whether you're for or against artificial intelligence, it's a tool that's become part of our daily lives. Ravy Por, founder of the organization Héros de chez nous, believes that AI can serve as an extension of our intelligence in a multitude of ways. All we need to do is stay alert and use it positively!

We don't always see the impact of our digital activity, but when you care about the environment, it's good to think about it. With Claudine Auger-St-Onge from Lab22, we learn, among other things, that our digital activity consumes a lot of water. That, and how to take small steps that make a difference!

Algorithms recommend interesting content according to our profile, but they can also influence our vision of the world and our social relationships. That's why Concordia University professor Jonathan Martineau explains the importance of educating ourselves about our relationship with interfaces and their algorithms!

We are all leaving some marks online and this builds our identity. The communication specialist Nellie Brière invites us to take care of our and others’ public life in a conscious manner.

Our internet data (ex. age and localisation) can allow us to personalize our experience, but also to become targeted with advertising. Simon Du Perron, cybersecurity lawyer, and Geneviève Lajeunesse frome Lab2038 inform us about our rights.

Whether we are a teenager or a famous person, our simple online activity can make us become a target for hacking, fraud of identity theft. Jean-Philippe Décarie-Mathieu, cybersecurity expert, teaches us more about the risks and o-how to protect ourselves.
