25 years ago, Google was born from the initiative of two Stanford students, Larry Page and Serguei Brin. At the time, researcher Serge Abiteboul was teaching at the same American university. It is with him that we will retrace the history of the Mountain View firm, from its genesis on the benches of the university to the mastodon that we know today.
Now a researcher at Inria and ENS, Serge Abiteboul is one of the most eminent specialists in computer data and social networks, but also a dedicated activist for digital inclusion and free software. Suffice to say that he took a very different path from his two former students.
What about the evolution of Google? Misuse of user data? Of its hegemony in the sector of research on the Web? We will try to provide answers to these questions. Of course, feel free to ask your own questions.
It will happen as always on our Twitch channel, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
