Pierre discute des semaines avec une intelligence artificielle et met fin à ses jours: "Sans ces conversations, il serait toujours là", assure sa femme
C’est une histoire à la fois tragique et interpellante. Un jeune Belge, devenu éco-anxieux, a discuté de manière intensive avec le chatbot Eliza. Après six semaines de conversations avec cette intelligence artificielle, le père de famille a mis fin à ses jours. Un suicide qui met en lumière la nécessité d’encadrer l’utilisation de ces nouveaux agents conversationnels.

There’s good reason for excitement — these models are technically impressive, and they can certainly help us accomplish certain tasks more easily.

Demonstranti v Hongkongu matou kamery. Obličej si halí svou vlastní tváří - iDNES.cz
Roušky, potápěčské brýle i masky připomínající vlastní obličej. Demonstranti v Hongkongu se čím dál víc snaží vyzrát na policejní kamery.
