Controlling algorithms through counter-algorithms mastered in Europe rather than through law

The best way to control the power of algorithms is not Maginot legislation, it is counter-algorithms that will be able to detect and correct the model's deviations. And these counter-algorithms, we must master them in Europe.
Original French quote
La meilleure manière de contrôler le pouvoir des algorithmes, ce ne sont pas des législations Maginot, ce sont des contre-algorithmes qui sauront repérer et corriger les déviances du modèle. Et ces contre-algorithmes, nous devons les maîtriser en Europe.
