Happy holidays under the sign of (artificial) intelligence!

During this end-of-year period, it is necessary to take a step back and question our world and its excesses. Particularly when it comes to information technology.

Whether at Christmas or celebrating the New Year, the main thing is to maintain ties with loved ones… And technology must help us achieve this goal.

Telecoms to bring us closer

Even if certain absurdities are to be avoided, whether in a festive or virtual way, telecommunications are precisely there to bring us closer together… Hence the term “tele” “communications”.

More than ever, moreover, the use of these information technologies and artificial intelligence and others must be done with discernment taking into account their energy consumption. And their potential impact on the climate.

That said, with a little human intelligence, it's clear that these AIs can save us a lot of time and make us even stronger… Unfortunately, hallucinations and other problems are still too common.

The power of Sora, ChatGPT Pro mode!

To end the year, I offer you this clip produced by the Pro version of Sora, OpenAI's generative video AI. We will soon return in more detail to this model which, although very expensive, does not always seem to keep its promises.

Although this demonstration required energy (it would be wise to introduce a mandatory carbon declaration for each application), the amount used is certainly insignificant compared to what would have been required a few years ago…

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season.
