“Google Analytics permet de disposer de statistiques de fréquentation d’un site web. Saisie de plaintes par l’association NOYB, la CNIL, en coopération avec ses homologues européens, a analysé les conditions dans lesquelles les données collectées grâce à cet outil sont transférées vers les États-Unis. La CNIL estime que ces transferts sont illégaux et impose à un gestionnaire du site web français de se conformer au RGPD et, si nécessaire, de ne plus utiliser cet outil dans les conditions actuelles.”
“À quelques semaines des fêtes de fin d’année, et alors que les Français préparent activement leurs courses de Noël avec en ligne de mire le Black Friday ce vendredi, le couperet est tombé. Selon nos informations, après plus d’un an d’enquête et des mois de relance avec la plate-forme de vente en ligne, la Direction générale de la concurrence, de la consommation et de la répression des fraudes (DGCCRF) ordonne à partir de ce mercredi matin de déréférencer le site américain Wish. […] Une deuxième procédure, cette fois judiciaire, est en effet en cours d’instruction depuis un an pour « pratiques commerciales trompeuses ». La peine pourrait être lourde pour Wish : deux ans de prison et une amende allant jusqu’à 10 % du chiffre d’affaires.”

“Google, Microsoft et IBM mettent en avant ces différents cas pour rassurer le grand public et les autorités face à une technologie qui a connu ses casseroles. Entre les possibilités de surveillance de masse ouvertes par la reconnaissance faciale, les biais d’IA racistes, il n’est plus utile de mobiliser la science-fiction pour s’interroger sur l’IA.Les entreprises technologiques l’ont rapidement compris, Microsoft a ouvert son Comité éthique en 2017, Google et IBM en 2018. Insuffisant pour les associations de défenses des droits. Selon Jascha Galaski, chargé de plaidoyer pour l’Union des libertés civiles pour l’Europe, les comités éthiques manquent encore d’indépendance et de transparence. Il estime « utopique » qu’ils finissent par le devenir d’eux-mêmes.”

“We’ve enhanced Android’s auto-rotate feature with face detection, using the front-facing camera to more accurately recognize when to rotate the screen. This is especially helpful for people who are using their devices while lying down on a couch or in bed, for example. For developers, this means that the auto-rotation behavior will provide a better user experience for users who have opted in through Settings. The enhanced auto-rotate feature lives within our recently announced Private Compute Core, so images are never stored or sent off the device. In Beta 3 this feature is available on Pixel 4 and later Pixel devices.To make screen rotation as speedy as possible on all devices, we’ve also optimized the animation and redrawing and added an ML-driven gesture-detection algorithm. As a result, the latency for the base auto-rotate feature has been reduced by 25%, and the benefits of the face detection enhancement build on top of those improvements. Give the auto-rotate improvements a try and let us know what yo”

“The rapidly increasing usage of machine learning raises complicated questions: How can we tell if models are fair? Why do models make the predictions that they do? What are the privacy implications of feeding enormous amounts of data into models? This ongoing series of interactive, formula-free essays will walk you through these important concepts.”

“These early results are encouraging, and we look forward to sharing more soon, but sensibleness and specificity aren’t the only qualities we’re looking for in models like LaMDA. We’re also exploring dimensions like “interestingness,” by assessing whether responses are insightful, unexpected or witty. Being Google, we also care a lot about factuality (that is, whether LaMDA sticks to facts, something language models often struggle with), and are investigating ways to ensure LaMDA’s responses aren’t just compelling but correct. But the most important question we ask ourselves when it comes to our technologies is whether they adhere to our AI Principles. Language might be one of humanity’s greatest tools, but like all tools it can be misused. Models trained on language can propagate that misuse — for instance, by internalizing biases, mirroring hateful speech, or replicating misleading information. And even when the language it’s trained on is carefully vetted, the model itself can still be put to ill use. ”
“Already used by a range of Internet services, an initial version of QUIC was designed and tested by Google and then proposed to IETF for standardization. Over the past 5 years it was reviewed, redesigned and improved in the IETF, incorporating a broad range of input from across the industry. QUIC is an important example of a range of innovation in core Internet technologies underway in the IETF. While QUIC is a general transport protocol, the IETF will also soon release HTTP/3, the first application protocol designed for use over QUIC.”

“To make sure we’re building for everyone, our model accounts for factors like age, sex, race and skin types — from pale skin that does not tan to brown skin that rarely burns. We developed and fine-tuned our model with de-identified data encompassing around 65,000 images and case data of diagnosed skin conditions, millions of curated skin concern images and thousands of examples of healthy skin — all across different demographics. Recently, the AI model that powers our tool successfully passed clinical validation, and the tool has been CE marked as a Class I medical device in the EU.”

“As long as there’s been popular music, musicians and crews have struggled with mental health at a rate far exceeding the general adult population. And this issue hasn’t just been ignored. It’s been romanticized, by things like the 27 Club—a group of musicians whose lives were all lost at just 27 years old. To show the world what’s been lost to this mental health crisis, we’ve used artificial intelligence to create the album the 27 Club never had the chance to. Through this album, we’re encouraging more music industry insiders to get the mental health support they need, so they can continue making the music we all love for years to come. Because even AI will never replace the real thing.”
