At the request of the directors of the documentary series, Isabelle Clarke and Daniel Costelle, and in the current health context, France Télévisions has set up a remote editing solution.

France Télévisions is partnering with students from Centrale Supélec and the company Wewyse to conduct research on Artificial Intelligence. Eventually, these new technologies will make it possible to detect the intention associated with a sentence.
