« We want AI agents that can discover like we can, not which contain what we have discovered. Building in our discoveries only makes it harder to see how the discovering process can be done ».

“It is important to note that Creative Commons licenses allow for free reproduction and reuse, so AI programs like ChatGPT might copy text from a Wikipedia article or an image from Wikimedia Commons. However, it is not clear yet whether massively copying content from these sources may result in a violation of the Creative Commons license if attribution is not granted. Overall, it is more likely than not if current precedent holds that training systems on copyrighted data will be covered by fair use in the United States, but there is significant uncertainty at time of writing. ”
“They agreed on a few steps parents could take now: Set limits, especially around bedtime. Don’t give a young teenager a smartphone right away. Start with a smartwatch or a phone without internet. Talk to your teenagers: Have them show you what they’re seeing, ask them how it makes them feel and discuss privacy and safety. Make a family screen time plan that takes into account which activities increase stress versus provide long-term satisfaction. Model responsible internet use yourself. It’s not about monitoring certain apps, said Caleb T. Carr, a professor of communication at Illinois State: “Instead, parents should engage with their kids. Just like parents did pre-social media, talk about being good humans and citizens, talk about respect for others and themselves, and talk about how their day was.””

“This incident has led me to question my relationship with Amazon. After nearly a decade of loyalty, I’ve been given a harsh reminder that a misunderstanding can lead to such drastic measures. It seems more reasonable to handle such issues in a more compartmentalized way, rather than a blanket shutdown of all services. Due to this experience, I am seriously considering discontinuing my use of Amazon Echo devices and will caution others about this incident. This ordeal has made a case for a more personalized home assistant system, perhaps utilizing Raspberry Pi devices scattered around the house.”

“Google will have to postpone starting its artificial intelligence chatbot Bard in the European Union after its main data regulator in the bloc raised privacy concerns. The Irish Data Protection Commission said Tuesday that the tech giant had so far provided insufficient information about how its generative AI tool protects Europeans’ privacy to justify an EU launch. The Dublin-based authority is Google’s main European data supervisor under the bloc’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). « Google recently informed the Data Protection Commission of its intention to launch Bard in the EU this week, » said Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle. The watchdog « had not had any detailed briefing nor sight of a data protection impact assessment or any supporting documentation at this point. »”

“La grande faiblesse du système d’OpenAI est qu’il est situé hors du monde, sans lien avec le contexte social et physique. Les conversations avec ChatGPT sont purement linguistiques, sans aucun ancrage dans une réalité partagée.
Le modèle de langage que développera Apple va au contraire pouvoir bénéficier de données d’entrainement liées à des flux visuels et aux capteurs 3D d’Apple Vision Pro qui donnent une représentation très détaillée du contexte dans laquelle a lieu l’interaction, et du suivi du regard de l’utilisateur. Ce sont des informations d’une pertinence incroyable pour comprendre le sens des interactions conversationnelles.
Si le produit est un succès, Apple sera sans doute la seule entreprise au monde capable de lier les modèles de langue avec l’attention, l’intentionnalité et les compétences d’un locuteur situé dans un contexte physique et social. La fusion de ces informations pourrait donner lieu à un système d’intelligence artificielle encore plus puissant que ceux développés par toutes les autres entreprises de la Silicon Valley.”
“Security experts have long said that any potential backdoors into encrypted communications or ways to decrypt services would undermine the overall security of the encryption. If law enforcement officials have a way to decipher messages, criminal hackers or those working on behalf of governments could exploit the same capabilities.”

“Imagine a game in which you could have intelligent, unscripted and dynamic conversations with non-playable characters (NPCs) with persistent personalities that evolve over time and accurate facial animations and expressions, all in your native tongue.”
“Some of the toughest questions and comments toward Mr. Altman came from Dr. Marcus, who noted OpenAI hasn’t been transparent about the data its uses to develop its systems. He expressed doubt in Mr. Altman’s prediction that new jobs will replace those killed off by A.I. “We have unprecedented opportunities here but we are also facing a perfect storm of corporate irresponsibility, widespread deployment, lack of adequate regulation and inherent unreliability,” Dr. Marcus said. Tech companies have argued that Congress should be careful with any broad rules that lump different kinds of A.I. together. In Tuesday’s hearing, Ms. Montgomery of IBM called for an A.I. law that is similar to Europe’s proposed regulations, which outlines various levels of risk. She called for rules that focus on specific uses, not regulating the technology itself.”

“Aujourd’hui, la question se pose de savoir si la Suisse aurait pu arrêter Jorge il y a huit ans déjà. Les fonctionnaires auraient-ils pu empêcher l’homme de continuer à manipuler des processus démocratiques? À l’époque, les autorités helvétiques disposaient des données bancaires de Jorge. La cellule enquête de Tamedia a analysé en détail ces documents bancaires issus des dossiers de procédure de 2015. Résultat: la clientèle de Jorge a transféré des sommes considérables sur le compte de sa société auprès de la banque tessinoise BSI. Rien qu’en 2014, l’équivalent de près de 850’000 francs ont été versés sur ce compte. De nombreux virements auraient pu éveiller les soupçons, comme le montrent les exemples qui suivent.”
