La licence MIT ou licence X11 est une licence de logiciel utilisée notamment pour la diffusion du gestionnaire de fenêtre X11 (ou X Window System). Elle est aussi appelée Licence MIT car elle provient du Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), mais l'appellation est impropre car le MIT utilise aussi d'autres licences logicielles.

"Louis Pouzin est un des premiers ingénieurs français à s'intéresser à la discipline de l'informatique. Dans les années 1970, sur la base de ses connaissances acquises au MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) et chez Bull, il dirige le projet Cyclades, un des premiers réseaux ordinateurs au sein de l'Iria (ex-Inria). Dans le cadre de ce projet, il créé le datagramme et le modèle de transmission des données par paquet. Ces travaux seront à l'origine de la création du protocole TCP/IP par Vinton Cerf et Robert Kahn. Il s'agit du principe d'Internet. Aujourd'hui, face au développement de l'Internet mondial, Louis Pouzin préconise des évolutions et prend notamment position dans des affaires telles que celle des écoutes de la National Security Agency (NSA)."

"Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already having a major impact on society. As a result, many organizations have launched a wide range of initiatives to establish ethical principles for the adoption of socially beneficial AI. Unfortunately, the sheer volume of proposed principles threatens to overwhelm and confuse. How might this problem of 'principle proliferation' be solved? In this paper, we report the results of a fine-grained analysis of several of the highest-profile sets of ethical principles for AI. We assess whether these principles converge upon a set of agreed-upon principles, or diverge, with significant disagreement over what constitutes 'ethical AI.' Our analysis finds a high degree of overlap among the sets of principles we analyze. We then identify an overarching framework consisting of five core principles for ethical AI. Four of them are core principles commonly used in bioethics: beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice. On the basis of our comparative analysis, we argue that a new principle is needed in addition: explicability, understood as incorporating both the epistemological sense of intelligibility (as an answer to the question 'how does it work?') and in the ethical sense of accountability (as an answer to the question: 'who is responsible for the way it works?'). In the ensuing discussion, we note the limitations and assess the implications of this ethical framework for future efforts to create laws, rules, technical standards, and best practices for ethical AI in a wide range of contexts."
