«With that, Hangouts Chat is now ready to go up against Slack (6 million users as of last September), Microsoft Teams, Facebook Workplace, Atlassian’s Stride, Flock, Zoho Cliq, and Keybase’s free Teams. Google grew its G Suite customer base by a third over the past year to 4 million businesses, so it could well have a fighting chance in this battle».

«Il apparaît que Vero a entrepris une large campagne auprès des influenceurs Instagram durant ces dernières semaines. Aux États-Unis, l’entreprise a touché des personnalités comme Christian Collins qui a promu l’application auprès de ses millions d’abonnés. Rapidement, les influenceurs ont fait connaître l’application autour d’eux et la presse américaine s’est mise à relayer une « migration massive » d’utilisateurs Instagram vers Vero— largement mise en scène par l’entreprise d’Hariri».
«Les progrès de la robotique et de l’intelligence artificielle permettent d’envisager une infrastructure à l’échelle du continent pour numériser, analyser, reconstituer notre patrimoine millénaire. […] Les Big Data nous promettent une société où nous pourrions anticiper l’avenir, grâce à la puissance de calcul des superordinateurs et la collecte massive de données» – Frédéric Kaplan.

«Après la fusillade du lycée de Parkland, YouTube s’est retrouvé sous le feu des critiques, pour avoir laissé la vidéo conspirationniste d’Infowars en ligne, et qui plus est dans son onglet « tendances ». Le site s’en était expliqué, assurant dans un communiqué que le contenu en question avait été identifié à tort par un algorithme comme respectant les règles d’utilisation de la plate-forme».

«The most basic problem is that researchers often don’t share their source code. At the AAAI meeting, Odd Erik Gundersen, a computer scientist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, reported the results of a survey of 400 algorithms presented in papers at two top AI conferences in the past few years. He found that only 6% of the presenters shared the algorithm’s code. Only a third shared the data they tested their algorithms on, and just half shared « pseudocode »—a limited summary of an algorithm. (In many cases, code is also absent from AI papers published in journals, including Science and Nature.)».

«The European Union is preparing legislation to force companies to turn over customers’ personal data when requested even if it is stored on servers outside the bloc, a position that will put Europe at loggerheads with tech giants and privacy campaigners».

sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me… ugh this is so sad.
— Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) 21 février 2018
«After the celebrity tweeted “sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me” to her 24m followers, shares of the app’s parent company Snap plummeted 6% – a $1.3bn drop in market value that launched a fresh cycle of embarrassing headlines. But some analysts and Snapchatters said this was more than just a one-day PR snafu. Facing backlash from brands and influencers and ongoing competition from Facebook and newer apps like Musical.ly, another platform hugely popular among children, Snapchat is suffering from a larger existential crisis, and it’s unclear how it will recover».

«We’re glad those are the choices we’ve made. Today, we are launching the Signal Foundation, an emerging 501(c)(3) nonprofit created and made possible by Brian Acton, the co-founder of WhatsApp, to support, accelerate, and broaden Signal’s mission of making private communication accessible and ubiquitous. In case you missed it, Brian left WhatsApp and Facebook last year, and has been thinking about how to best focus his future time and energy on building nonprofit technology for public good.
Starting with an initial $50,000,000 in funding, we can now increase the size of our team, our capacity, and our ambitions».
