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.

Selfie géant d'Hillary Clinton: le simulacre de la politique
(Hillary Clinton's giant selfie: the sham of politics)

Topic Tags | politics, selfie, threat
Summary | The philosopher Bertrand Vergely talks about Hillary Clinton's giant selfie and claims that it reflects a political cynicism. It also reveals the perversity of politics, communication, and images. When Hillary decided to take the selfie, she was not really playing. In fact, she knew exactly what she was doing. She knew that the audience wanted to have a selfie with her, so she gave them what they wanted. It was a smart move. However, it was also a little dangerous because she played with her ego. This kind of manipulation is called cynicism.

Summary | Facebook introduced 20 new languages, and Corsican is one of them. Now, 120000 Corsican speakers can use their language on Facebook. For instance, they can say "cummentu" for "comment", or "cliccu" for "clic". Today, more than one billion people use Facebook in a language other than English, so the question of translation is important. Some people would like Facebook to include other regional languages, such as "occitan", but since occitan is not a standardized language, it would be difficult to do so.

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.
