Devrions-nous dire “Bonjour” et “Merci” à ChatGPT et consorts ? Vers l'anthropomorphisme des IA.

Lire des messages se moquant de ceux qui disent “merci” aux IA conversationnelles (au-delà de la question purement écologique) m’a donné envie d’écrire cet article. Car le sujet de l’anthropomorphisme des intelligences artificielles a tout des fondations d’un film de science-fiction. Mais la réflexion est bien réelle, et s’ancre dans une tendance de fond que la littérature comme la psychologie cognitive ont déjà largement observée : notre propension à prêter des intentions, des émotions, voire des personnalités aux objets qui nous entourent. Ce n'est pas pour rien que l'on illustre quasi systématiquement les IA par des cyborgs sinistrement inexpressifs au visage lisse comme des boules de billard.  Petite parenthèse lexicale : quand je parle ici d’IA, je désigne les modèles conversationnels de type LLM ( Large Language Models ), fondés sur les dernières avancées en deep learning ( transformers , clusters de GPU, préentraînement sur des corpus textuels massifs, etc.) ; pas des IA...

Quantum AI - Part 3 - The rise of the AIs

-
Image
Previously, in the Quantum AI column, we have seen that quantum computing would theoretically be able to significantly increase the execution speed of some Machine Learning algorithms. This is due to the phenomena at the core of such computers (like states superposition, qubits entanglement, superposed states decoherence, immediate wave function collapse) that enable parallel calculations by storing several (superposed) information within a single particle. By considerably speeding up algorithmic processing, quantum will make AI solve new problems. Some people go even further and say it could enable the design of an artificial brain as efficient as that of humans, especially able to integrate abstract concepts such as consciousness and feelings. The question that then arises is whether quantum AI would be more likely to become “strong AI” (artificial general intelligence)… First of all, what is human intelligence? Before looking at the complementarities between quantum and strong ...

Quantum AI - Part 2 - The dice have been cast!

Image
Previously, in the Quantum AI column, we have seen that quantum computing would theoretically enable some complex machine learning algorithms to be executed in a “reasonable” time (less than several years…). But what is so different about quantum computers compared to today’s computers? The purpose of this article is not to go into theoretical details but to simply illustrate – as faithfully as possible – the fundamental differences between classical and quantum computers, especially with a quantum algorithm example. Understanding the bit concept with the coin analogy To understand why calculations are potentially much faster in a quantum computer, let’s recall the general functioning of conventional computers. They use bits to code information and are made of electronic circuits so that, when the current flows through the circuit, the bit is worth 1, otherwise the bit is worth 0. You can also consider the electrical voltage rather than the current, the approach will remain the...
