Generalized automatization leads to the industrial development of robotics, but this is not just a matter of “Ambient Computing” that produces a robotized living space in which, little by little, I no longer have anything to do (I no longer need to open doors, order food supplies and so on) and progressively lose all my knowledge of how to do things and how to live. It also involves the robotization of bots, which means, for example, that on Wikipedia, such bots shape the work of contributors—like you and me, when, not content just to read the entries contained in this encyclopedia, we happen to correct them, or even to create them. Here, a new individual and collective autonomy is made possible through a technological and automatic heteronomy.
