For Sergey Brin, founder of Google, artificial intelligence is a journey without return

-

For Sergey Brin, artificial intelligence is disrupting our lives in an irreversible way. For the better but also with the risk of collateral damage.

Like all tech giants, Google is used to guessing that it wants to make the world a better place. "Do not be evil" was for a long time the motto of the company until Larry Page assumed in 2014 that this slogan had to evolve in front of the challenges posed by robotics and biotechnologies .
While affirming to remain confident about Alphabet's ability to do good through technological advances, the other founder of Google, Sergey Brin, recognizes that the development of artificial intelligence could also cause damage that may not be controllable. .

"These powerful tools bring new questions and responsibilities, how will they affect employment in different sectors, how can we understand what they are doing in depth, and what about equity measures? How could they manipulate people, are they safe? ", He wonders in a letter addressed to the investors of Alphabet and put on line at the end of last week.
According to him, impossible to ignore a big debate about the impacts of these advances. "Although I am optimistic about the possibility of using technology to solve the world's biggest problems, we are on a path that we must follow with deep responsibility, attention and humility," he added.

Google collaborates with the Pentagon

The site The Verge also recalls very well that Google acknowledged last March to help the Pentagon deploying machine learning tools to analyze the surveillance video drones.
The company said the technology was not used as part of the killer drones, which allow assassinations remotely ordered by the United States against targets deemed to be terrorists. But the case has sparked a stir internally. Sergey Brin ignores the most controversial actions of Alphabet and prefers to highlight the most flattering results, recalling that the company has "helped doctors diagnose diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy" but also "to discover new planetary systems ".

More surprising are the literary references chosen by Brin to begin his letter. Leaving aside easy allusions to science fiction, Brin prefers to quote Dickens and the beginning of his novel The Tale of Two Cities (1859) which takes place during the French Revolution between France and England. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" ("It was the best moment, it was the worst of times"). Incredible comparison with a bloody political period that has crushed lives but also laid the foundations for a more just society and erected individual freedoms as a fundamental right. A troubled era coupled with another Revolution, industrial that one, which resulted in the birth of capitalism. This is not going to reassure detractors of AI. But Sergey Brin does not intend to appease the most pessimistic fears. Because, for him, there will be no possible return back.

We tested the Nuraphone, the headset that fits your hearing

-
Image
The Nuraphone is an innovative model both for its sound customization system and the design of its headphones. Is it enough to make a difference? How to offer the best possible sound for headphones? The Australian company Nura have tackled this thorny problem and have designed a revolutionary model: the Nuraphone, sold about 400 euros. This helmet is distinguished by its design that combines the circum-auricular and the intra-auricular. The inside of the earpiece has a tip that is placed at the entrance of the ear canal to transmit the sound more directly than with conventional supra or circumauricular models. According to the manufacturer, the tip penetrates less into the duct than the in-ear headphones, which explains the unique size. We would have liked the choice between several sizes and people who do not like the headphones may not like this model either. Another potential problem often related to ear-phones, the restitution of the bass. To avoid this problem, Nura ...

They turned Amazon Echo into an audio snitch

-
Image
Hackers have managed to create, in the smart enclosure, a seemingly innocuous application that continuously records conversations. With a microphone, smart speakers sometimes cause discomfort in some users who wonder if they do not record their words constantly. Checkmarx's hackers have just given some grit to this conspiracy theory as part of Amazon Echo. They developed a calculator in the form of a "skill", that is to say a voice application that extends the functionality of Amazon Echo. Just say "start calculator" to access and make calculations. Until then nothing abnormal. The problem is that the application continues to record the words of the user even if they are unrelated to the application. The speeches are then transformed into text and sent to the developer of the skill. To achieve this, hackers used a flaw in Amazon Echo's programming interface settings. Normally, a skill is supposed to turn off automatically after a certain time, when...

Dolby Digital, Atmos or DTS ... what do these audio technologies hide?

-

With the multiplication of audio formats, not easy to navigate to make the right choice. 01net.com explains the main ones to make sure you do not go wrong. Be immersed in a match and live the same atmosphere as the stadium? This is certainly what every football lover dreams about in front of his television. If the image participates more and more, including the broadcast of some matches in 4K, the audio is still the poor relation of sports retransmissions. However, we do not buy a TV only to watch football (well, normally). It is therefore good to know what the different formats used for cinema sound mean. Not always easy to cope with the acronyms and logos displayed on the data sheets of the devices or on the pockets of DVDs and Blu-ray discs. These are the latter that will usually give you the most systematic access to multichannel audio formats, with several voices in the front, rear and a subwoofer. Netflix also offers some compatible content, both movies and series. Two...
