Apple accélère dans l'intelligence artificielle
(Apple is moving faster in the field of artificial intelligence)

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 | Artificial intelligence is spreading, which can be worrying. Google, Facebook, IBM, Microsoft and Amazon decided to create the "Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society" in order to answer ethical questions, and do more research on the impact of new technologies on society. Another goal of the project is to educate people, listen to them, and be transparent with them. Stephen Hawking thinks that AI could end humanity, and Elon Musk claims that it could be more dangerous than atomic bombs.

L'algorithme qui comprend les contes pour enfants
(The algorithm that understands children's tales)

Language | French
Country | France
Topic Tags | artificial intelligence, Facebook, research/study
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.

Deep learning has changed the ways in which machines learn. One of the goals of deep learning will be to improve machine translation. Voice recognition works well now, but machine translation is not perfect yet. Regarding ethical questions and safety, Corrado says that we should have an open discussion.

Un «bot» Twitter imite Donald Trump pour mieux le dénoncer
(A Twitter "bot" imitates Donald Trump in order to better condemn him)

Topic Tags | artificial intelligence, politics, Twitter
Summary | DeepDrumpf, a "bot" that was created at MIT, imitates Trump's tweets and speeches thanks to deep learning. The program is not perfect: a lot of tweets are incoherent. Nevertheless, they make a good parody. In sum, DeepDrumpf illustrates a language that seems unnatural, unpredictable, and incomprehensible -a good imitation of Trump, then. Hillary Clinton also created a bot called Text Trump.

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.

Summary | One of Facebook's labs wants to create a program that would allow people to type words from people's thoughts. The goal of the technology would be to convert brain signals into words. If the lab can do that, people might be able to share their thoughts independently from the language they speak (concepts would be directly translated).
