🔥 NO TO SACRIFICING ÉTIENNE KLEIN 27 years of career wrecked by system injustice. The withdrawal of Étienne Klein's doctorate by Paris Cité University in 2026 for plagiarism in his 1999 thesis is disproportionate. 🚫 This is not just Klein's fault. ✅ The thesis jury failed in 1999 by validating a flawed work. ✅ 27 years of career at CEA (research director), École Centrale professor, national honors: Jean Perrin Award, Academy of Sciences Award, Jean Rostand Award, Academic Palmes. ✅ Science communication books read by thousands. 🎯 A retroactive, disproportionate sanction destroying a legend of French sciences. 🤖 THE ETHICAL QUESTION ON AI Tragically, AI easily detects plagiarism, yet is built on disguised plagiarism of human work. Today, it's nearly impossible to distinguish real images from AI-generated ones. AI is trained on sediments of copied but recycled human creation. This is the limit of journalists' work: without AI, they wouldn't have discovered the plagiarism. They deserve no merit. My description of how AI works might seem caricatural, but I hold to this idea: AI, a human invention, transcends us and threatens scientific research methodologies with massive plagiarism. 📢 We demand: Either annulment of the withdrawal Or a less radical sanction, considering 27 years of exceptional career 👉 Don't let Paris Cité University sacrifice one of France's greatest science communicators. This case resonates globally. In the US, Trumpist censorship has targeted researchers, silencing voices on climate, public health, and science policy. Like Klein, American scientists face institutional retaliation for their expertise. 🌍 Defending Klein >> Defending science integrity worldwide. Do you think this sanction is proportionate? 🤔 Have you seen cases where the system sacrificed a researcher for an institutional failure?
