France 2 broadcasts this week a special program entitled “Artificial Intelligence: the great experience”, to test the capacities of AI through fun and instructive challenges (or almost).
Artificial intelligence is invited to France 2 Tuesday February 11, at 9:10 p.m. The show Artificial intelligence : The great experience will be disseminated on the occasion of the summit for action on artificial intelligence, bringing together in Paris leaders, business leaders, researchers, actors of culture, teaching and civil society in Paris, the 10 and February 11.
On the program, a special evening presented by Julia Vignali to test the capabilities of the AI ”in a fun and original way,” said the chain. The host will indeed confront AI with everyday situations through a series of challenges that will be “funny”. Five challenges will be launched at AI in very varied and often completely offset areas. Maybe too shifted …
Faceties that may spoil the subject
The first test relates to clairvoyance! Julia Vignali, transformed into a high-tech medium thanks to AI, will try to bluff strangers with her “powers” of divination. And it’s already a first problem. Clairvoyance being a “science” which is not very accurate at the origin (it is an euphemism), it is difficult to see in what it would allow to explore the prowess but also the current limits of an AI.
And we would pass this absurdity if the second test did not relate to an equally stupid challenge: the “Dredg 2.0”! This time, it will be a question of who from AI or a real woman will be able to get a first appointment with singles … “In terms of seduction, does AI have sufficient assets To compete with a woman? “Asks France 2. We don’t know if we really have to find an answer or how to howl to off topic.
The third challenge is fortunately a little more relevant in terms of capacity and reliability of artificial intelligence. The director of Warner Music France, the label of the star Amir and many others, was invited to recognize whether a tube was entirely composed by an artificial intelligence and to find the difference with the hits concocted with human hands. We breathe a little, like when the fourth challenge opposes the AI to two great starred chefs, David Gallienne and Coline Faulquier, to revisit the very traditional minced Parmentier. A culinary battle of a new genre between human creativity and high-tech recipes that can be a little more interesting …
Some open doors pierced
The fifth and last test of the show Artificial intelligence: the great experience is a life -size treasure hunt. The AI will face two aces of the discipline in a race against the clock to decode a series of convoluted puzzles. All to know if humans will keep the advantage in the face of the computing power of their digital opponent.
Beyond entertainment, this special public service evening therefore aims to enlighten us on the concrete perspectives offered by AI on a daily basis. Luc Julia, co-creator of the vocal assistant Siri, will be on the set to decipher the potential, but also the gaps and the limits of this booming technology. A very commendable approach, which could be spoiled by too many jokes.
Demystifying artificial intelligence, breaking fantasies and other scientific fears and taming this fascinating technology to better take advantage of it is also a very good intention. Too bad that it arrives at a time when Chatgpt, Copilot and the others have already been used massively by the population for months, which has been able to realize by itself its biases. “The objective is to demonstrate that AI is a tool that will revolutionize our world,” says France TV. We had noticed, thank you.
