Non, Facebook n'a pas «paniqué» à cause d'un programme d'IA capable d'inventer un langage

Summary | Dhruv Batra, a researcher in artificial intelligence, read many Facebook posts and tweets describing apocalyptic scenes about the fact that artificial intelligence had invented a new language. Batra wrote an article denouncing how the media portrayed the event. When Facebook programmed two bots to teach them how to negotiate, employees noticed that the bots had invented their own language. The new language was based on English vocabulary; therefore, it was more or less comprehensible. But since the program was not working the way it was supposed to work, workers modified it. They didn't "kill" it, so there is no reason to panick.

Thanks to his research, our cell phones' assistants can now recognize human voice, and people's faces can be identified in pictures. LeCun also invented "deep learning".

Summary | Apple has a new research group that will be in charge of AI. With Siri, Apple was in fact one of the first companies to introduce chatbots. Nowadays, there are many personal assistants that are far better than Siri (e.g. Alexa and Google Assistant). Unlike Google or Facebook, Apple does not base its research and activities on people's personal information. However, to be efficient in the field of AI, a company needs a lot of personal data. This is why Facebook and Google are at the forefront of these technologies.

Summary | One of Facebook's research labs on artificial intelligence created an algorithm capable of understanding and remembering texts. The algorithm is even better than the "tale's text". The essence of intelligence is the capacity to predict, which is also one of the goals of artificial intelligence. Chatbots don't understand the questions that people ask; they actually react to keywords.

Summary | Facebook Messenger's boss claims that consumers will use messaging apps more and more, at the expense of emails, phones, and mobile apps. Other people have also been privileging the conversational mode in the service industry: Kik's boss (Ted Livingston) uses "bots", which are robots that simulate human conversations. For instance, if you're hungry, you can order a pizza using Domino's pizza's bot. A similar trend is happening in China with WeChat. What is interesting about WeChat is the fact that it can give out personal information to product and service suppliers.
