A la rencontre de Watson, l'intelligence artificielle star d'IBM
(Meet Watson, IBM's artificial intelligence star)

Summary | Watson is an artificial intelligence program that can analyze your psychological profile while chatting with you. Watson can for example suggest a beer that would be adapted to your taste based on a series of questions. The program does not only recommend beers, it also gets involved in hospitals and banks. Watson can recognize words, images, and can analyze people's tone and emotions. The goal is not to create people's replicas, but to find out what people's limitations are.

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.

La «dictée par la pensée» sur laquelle travaille Facebook n'est pas encore pour demain
(The "mind dictation", on which Facebook is working, is not for tomorrow)

Summary | At a Facebook conference on April 19th, it was announced that Facebook is working on a new project that should allow people to type directly from their mind/thoughts. Researchers want to decode language in order to allow people to type their thoughts. The goal would be to type 100 words per minute based on a person's thoughts. Decoding language directly from the brain is difficult. Moreover, Facebook is facing a major difficulty with the sensor technology they want to develop. Finally, besides technical difficulties, there are also ethical ones.

Summary | Facebook, TripAdvisor, and Google Chrome often ask users if they want to translate their content into French. Translations have improved, but translated texts can still be imperfect and odd. Still, translated texts are usually good enough to allow people to understand original texts. Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are still trying to improve their translation tools to make them faster and more accurate.

Summary | Google created a new messaging app using artificial intelligence. Assistant (the name of the program) gets involved in people's conversations in order to help users with ready-made answers. For instance, if someone texts you "I don't know how many airports there are in Berlin", the app will suggest multiple answers such as "me neither", "haha", or "really?". Assistant can also become an interlocutor; you can ask Assistant anything you want and it will reply based on Google's data.

Topic Tags | artificial intelligence
Summary | The app Replika allows people to have conversations with a computer program. After getting to know its user's personality, Replika becomes a digital clone that can imitate the user's expressions and speech characteristics. Thus, the app allows people to have a new virtual friend. Some people have more exchanges with Replika than with their contacts. A woman was able to fight depression thanks to Replika, and some grandparents want to create a digital clone so that their grandchildren can still communicate with them after they pass.
