Summary | When Elon Musk said that robots were killing people and that we should be worried about that, Mark Zuckerberg replied that Musk's ideas were irresponsible and also praised the advances of artificial intelligence. Even if Musk's pessimism seems exaggerated, artificial intelligence raises some concerns and problems (e.g. impact on jobs, racist and sexist softwares, creation of autonomous weapons, surveillance problems, etc.)

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.

Summary | Gender stereotypes are reproduced in some artificial intelligence programs. Researchers at the University of Stanford show how machine learning can replicate people's biases. They based their research on a technology called GloVe, which is trained to look for common associations. The technology points to some problematic associations that illustrate sexism and racism. The fact that AI follows people's prejudices can have some serious consequences, so people are trying to find solutions against AI's biases.
