AfI/IAf #4: “AIs can be artists too” / “Les IAs peuvent aussi être artistes”
These past few years, we’ve had plenty of articles on AIs that had created amazing paintings, incredible texts or uncannily realistic music. While the results were sometimes not as truly unbelievable as the article’s buzz-title suggested, we have to admit that there’s an ever-growing trend of “creative AIs”, or AI artists. But this begs the question: can AI really be creative? Isn’t this ability to invent, to create, inherently human?

Quickie AI #1: Check your baseline!
Because sometimes getting an outstanding model can be easy enough… until you realize the most naive approach would be just as efficient!
Bias in data (scientist) = bias in ML
Because data science is mainly about… data and data scientists, surprisingly 😉
Why are programming languages different from natural languages?
Natural languages have been around for millennia. They have grown, evolved, spread, split into new ones or disappeared with the people that spoke it… Even though programming languages are much more recent, some are now in their sixties, like C, Lisp or Fortran. Most of the time, we think of developers more as scientific than literary people. But why then are they called programming languages, and not programming sciences? What are the connections and differences between natural and programming languages?

Data & Security/Donnée & Sécurité #2: Asymmetric Ciphers/Chiffrement asymétrique
Last time, I discussed how symmetric cryptography has long been in use for transmitting secret messages. Despite all of its advantages, we did point out some problems with symmetric ciphers: they require you to safely exchange keys and some can now be easily broken thanks to the newest technologies in computer science. Today, I’ll talk more about the counterpart: asymmetric cryptography. I’ll discuss its pros and cons compared to symmetric cryptography and I’ll also give a very rough picture of a possible game-changer: quantum cryptography.

Data & Security/Donnée & Sécurité #1: Symmetric Ciphers / Chiffrement symétrique
Today, we live in a world of data. It is great, because it helps Google perform amazing searches and retrieve exactly the info you want; because it allows Facebook and Instagram to show you news that are relevant for you; because it makes it easy to connect to hundreds of applications and enjoy thousands of new technologies. But, at the same time, some scammers are currently take advantage of the Covid pandemic to trick people into giving out info and money with phishing, possible medical data leaks from the French to the American government have been pointed out and there are more and more scandals about hackers attacking hospitals or banks mixing up their clients data and having them stolen.

In this third article in the Artifakal Intelligence / Intelligence Artifaussielle series, I’ll discuss a common question in sci-fi culture: “do AIs need a body?“. Are robots always shiny humanoid entities, or should we widen our search field and consider more of the tech marvels around us as robots?

3 Showcase Projects (Full-Stack)
Last Autumn, I graduated from Polytech Sorbonne – I’m now an engineer in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, yay! 🙂 In parallel, for a few months now, I’ve also been a freelancer software full-stack developer. Thanks to this second activity, I get to meet a lot of people, to work on various projects and to keep on learning plenty of technologies I’m interested in!
