Analysis of the results

Many of you voted to continue to see content around the deGAFAMisaton (spoiler: we don’t plan to stop!), and in particular around smartphones (we already talked about it in the responsible IT series).

You have also been told that you have chosen to see content around Open Source AI, a subject dear to the heart of Raphaël, the co-author of the podcast!

Then we find our other favorite subjects, which are the digital commons and the Fediverse.

These results come as no surprise to the team: all of this confirms the direction of the podcast, and we look forward to bringing you content on these topics in the coming weeks and months.

Thank you all for participating!

Once again, you are our best ambassadors, so we are counting on you to talk and make our content revolve around you:)
