And it is not just anyone who says: Luc Julia is a global expert in the subject, being in particular the co-creator of the vocal assistant Siri, bought a few years later by Apple.Having become vice-president responsible for innovation in Samsung then, more recently, scientific director of the French automaker Renault, the engineer was at a conference on September 21.Here are the highlights of his intervention.
He tackled his favorite theme: artificial intelligence!Or rather myths around artificial intelligence.In 2019, he signed a popularization work on the subject in order to undermine all fantasies around this discipline, he who prefers the expression "increased intelligence".
"A vast fumistry"
These researchers believe they have succeeded in modeling a neuron and therefore being able to recreate a network of neurons so a brain therefore of intelligence.An excessive simplification or even "a vast fumistry" he launches.
Since then, however, the expression has spread, especially in recent years."This is Hollywood's artificial intelligence, that of Terminator or Her films," he said.The one who scares, that of all the drifts, that which will replace the human being.
A calculating machine
However, to look more closely, Luc Julia assures that it is only a simple tool, certainly more and more perfected.
In 1997, the media made the titles of the defeat of the champion of failure Gary Kasparov against the Deep Blue machine.A suprise ?Not at all according to Luc Julia.
In this respect, he recalls progress in this area since Pascaline, in 1642, the first calculation machine of the inventor Pascal.But at what cost ?
"It requires crazy energy"
In 2016, the machine beats the world game champion of Go, a much more complicated game than failures where there are more than 10 power 200 or even 600 possible shots.The infinity in short.In other words, there are blows that have never been played in history before.
And for an electrical consumption of 440 kwatt ... knowing that that of a human being barely exceeds 20 watts, 20,000 times less!
Luc Julia illustrates this with search engines which are able to recognize cat images in 98% of cases thanks to databases of 100,000 cats ... while a child only needs 2 cats to assimilate thisanimal !So there is no reason for it to become smarter than us, he sums up.
Without forgetting a determining element: the data."Artificial intelligence" cannot do without.The problem: how to make sure they are not biased?Especially if we call on historical databases and therefore which may no longer reflect the standards of current societies.And wanting to debiate them ... are just another way to add our own bias.Here we touch on the ethical issue around AI.
For Luc Julia, the important thing today is to educate to understand.And to finish with this notion of black box of artificial intelligence where we do not know what is hidden inside.
