If you’ve ever wished you had a faster phone, computer or internet connection, you’ve encountered the personal experience of hitting a limit of technology. But there might be help on the way. Over the past several decades, scientists and engineers like me have worked to develop faster transistors, the electronic components underlying modern electronic and digital communications […] … learn more→

The British mathematician Alan Turing, one of the fathers of computing, asked himself in 1950 the question: can machines think? Right away he also wondered: can machines do what we (as thinking entities) can do? We now ask ourselves: is ChatGPT the answer to Turing? At the moment, many mathematicians have already detected that, in our discipline, the chatbot “fails more […] … learn more→

It’s become fashionable to think of artificial intelligence as an inherently dehumanizing technology, a ruthless force of automation that has unleashed legions of virtual skilled laborers in faceless form. But what if AI turns out to be the one tool able to identify what makes your ideas special, recognizing your unique perspective and potential on the issues where […] … learn more→

Who has never heard of ChatGPT , this generative artificial intelligence, capable of responding with complex texts to queries launched by Internet users? The December 2022 release of this software designed by the OpenAI company sparked a multitude of articles, between visions of catastrophe and utopia, producing a media panic, as illustrated by the open letter of March […] … learn more→

If, today, we are used to surfing the Internet, the tip of a huge iceberg of interconnected data, recent technological developments should soon allow us to immerse ourselves in this bubbling ocean of big data. Immersion aims to provide the user with a sense of presence by using sensory capture and restitution technologies: the user […] … learn more→

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many different industries in recent years. It gained a lot of attention and popularity with the launch of ChatGPT, a tool capable of writing poems, solving equations and producing articles on different topics. With the fast-paced implementation of AI in different fields, will it take the place of architects and architecture schools […] … learn more→

Today, everyone talks to machines all day long: from Dragon to Alexa, Siri and voice dictation from your phone, human-machine interaction is more than ever at the heart of our daily lives. . However, this interaction is modulated by many parameters, including how much the machine physically resembles a human. But understanding how we interact with […] … learn more→

The basic configuration of traditional propellers has not fundamentally changed since the first powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903. However, as engineers learn more about aerodynamics and attempt new experiments, propellers are evolving to more complex shapes. These feature multiple blades, high sweep angles, blade tip devices and other features to optimise performance in […] … learn more→

ChatGPT is a hot topic at my university, where faculty members are deeply concerned about academic integrity, while administrators urge us to “embrace the benefits” of this “new frontier.” It’s a classic example of what my colleague Punya Mishra calls the “doom-hype cycle” around new technologies. Likewise, media coverage of human-AI interaction – whether paranoid or starry-eyed – tends […] … learn more→

There are about 8 billion humans in 2022, 50% of them women. The latter, although as numerous as men, are under-represented in scientific fields. Also, among the 956 Nobel laureates, are there only 60 women , or 6%: would the differences between women and men be such as to justify such a disparity? Natural differences? The first difference […] … learn more→
