From support function to growth engine: The future of AI and customer service
When it comes to imagining the future, customer service often gets painted in a dystopian light. Take the 2002 sci-fi film Minority Report. Tom Cruise’s John Anderton walks into the Gap, an identity recognition system scans him, and a hologram asks about a recent purchase.

Existe-t-il un point de non-retour dans les écosystèmes ?
Y a-t-il vraiment, dans les écosystèmes, un seuil de perturbations au-delà duquel le milieu se détériore brutalement ? Cette idée, qui guide aujourd’hui les politiques environnementales, est remise en question par un groupe d’écologues.

This know-it-all AI learns by reading the entire web nonstop
Back in July, OpenAI’s latest language model, GPT-3, dazzled with its ability to churn out paragraphs that look as if they could have been written by a human. People started showing off how GPT-3 could also autocomplete code or fill in blanks in spreadsheets.

AI Advances and Applications
Is AI at an impasse? The growth of AI to date has been fueled by massive amounts of data and exponential gains in processing efficiency. But are these gains sustainable and if not, what is going to take us to the next level?

How special relativity can help AI predict the future
Nobody knows what will happen in the future, but some guesses are a lot better than others. A kicked football will not reverse in midair and return to the kicker’s foot. A half-eaten cheeseburger will not become whole again. A broken arm will not heal overnight.

Explications avec Nicolas Vayatis, directeur du Centre…
Podcast: Want consumer privacy? Try China
The narrative in the US that the Chinese don’t care about data privacy is simply misguided. It’s true that the Chinese government has built a sophisticated surveillance apparatus (with the help of Western companies), and continues to spy on its citizenry.

Too many AI researchers think real-world problems are not relevant
Any researcher who’s focused on applying machine learning to real-world problems has likely received a response like this one: “The authors present a solution for an original and highly motivating problem, but it is an application and the significance seems limited for the machine-learning community.” Source : https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/08/18/1007196/ai-research-machine-learning-applications-problems-opinion/ Date :…

What happens when an algorithm gets it wrong
In the first of a four-part series on FaceID, host Jennifer Strong explores the false arrest of Robert Williams by police in Detroit. The odd thing about Willliams’s ordeal wasn’t that police used face recognition to ID him—it’s that the cops told him about it.

AI is learning when it should and shouldn’t defer to a human
The context: Studies show that when people and AI systems work together, they can outperform either one acting alone. Medical diagnostic systems are often checked over by human doctors, and content moderation systems filter what they can before requiring human assistance.
