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 this Tuesday, February 11, at 9:10 p.m. The show Artificial intelligence : The great experience is broadcast on the occasion of the Summit for Action on Artificial Intelligence, bringing together at this very moment to Paris leaders, business leaders, researchers, actors of culture, teaching and civil society.
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 has indeed confronted AI with everyday situations through a series of challenges that want to be “fun”. Five challenges have been launched at AI in very varied and often completely offset areas. Maybe too shifted …
Challenges to show the potential and risks of AI
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. A predictive AI test which therefore takes the side of lightness. The second test port on an equally offset challenge at first glance: the “Dredge 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 nothing naive at a time when false profiles swarm on social media and meeting apps.
In the third challenge, the director of Warner Music France, 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 concocted hits of human hand. Later in the evening, the fourth challenge will oppose the AI to two great starred chefs, David Gallienne and Coline Faulquier, to revisit the very traditional Machi Parmentier. A culinary battle of a new genre between human creativity and high-tech recipes that can be stunned …
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. Demystifying artificial intelligence, breaking fantasies and other scientific fears and taming this fascinating technology to better take advantage of it is another very good intention of the program. Too bad he 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.
An even more enlightening part of the evening
This very commendable approach could also be spoiled by too many jokes. It is also the criticism that Télérama formulates, which believes that this great experience “prefers to play entertainment that depth”. The world is more lenient, judging that “light on the form, this first television is all the more effective in its demonstrations”.
The main interest of the show will undoubtedly be the expertise of Luc Julia, co-creator of the vocal assistant Siri, who will be present on the set to decrypt the potential, but also the gaps and the limits of this booming technology . We will also recommend the documentary scheduled in the second part of the evening and entitled The sacrifices of AI. A discovery of the world of “data workers”, modern slaves of the poor countries responsible for feeding the refined data beast so that users of rich countries wander and exploit the performance of AI.
