« Intelligence is one of those terms that everyone uses without being able to define it precisely. The word is derived from the Latin "intelligere" meaning "know." The Latin word itself is a compound of the prefix between ("between") and light ("choose, pick"): etymologically, intelligence is therefore the ability to sort the available elements - to pick those that are relevant - and to bind them together. It is "all mental functions for conceptual and rational knowledge" (Larousse Dictionary). It is what makes you know the world. Intelligence uses the information provided by the senses to work, but is also able to take a step back from it, to detect its deceptiveness in order to interpret it correctly. »

« Ethical standards will therefore have to be instilled in AI: the more autonomous the automatons, the more moral dilemmas they will have to solve. This is all the more urgent as we are more dependent on AI every day. It is already the one that chooses the information we consume: Twitter, Facebook and Google are driven by AI. The philosopher Roger-Pol Droit proposes to explain the nuances of human functioning to robots to avoid disasters. Interesting proposal, but who among us is able to perfectly explain the ethical underpins of its decisions? Not to mention that ethical standards, it is all their complexity, are often in conflict with each other. Morality is an inaccurate science, full of contradictions and near-down. Quite the opposite of a computer calculation and an equation. »

« One of the most significant advances in deep learning took place in 2012, when Google Brain was able to "discover" the concept of chat by itself. This time, learning was not supervised. In practice, the machine analyzed, over three days, ten million screenshots from YouTube, randomly s e l e c ted and, above all, unlabelled. At the end of this training, the program had learned itself to detect cat heads and human bodies. "No one ever told him it was a cat. It was a turning point in machine learning," Andrew Ng, founder of the Google Brain project, told Forbes magazine. »
