En Chine, la vie sous l'oeil inquisiteur des caméras - 0 views

"Dans l'empire du Milieu, les caméras de reconnaissance faciale sont partout. L'intelligence artificielle permet ainsi de retrouver des criminels en fuite ou de payer ses achats en un clin d'oeil. Mais aussi d'étouffer toute dissidence." "Le gouvernement chinois s'évertue aussi à promouvoir cette technologie, qu'il perçoit comme l'une des innovations clefs qui vont lui permettre de réduire sa dépendance face aux Etats-Unis. En 2017, il a nommé cinq champions nationaux de l'intelligence artificielle : Baidu pour les voitures autonomes, Alibaba pour les villes intelligentes, Tencent pour les diagnostics médicaux, iFlytek pour la reconnaissance vocale et SenseTime pour la reconnaissance faciale."[...] "Les autorités de Pékin ont annoncé que les caméras qu'elles s'apprêtent à installer à l'entrée de tous les logements sociaux de la ville auront notamment pour but de surveiller les allées et venues des résidents. Ceux qui ne sortent pas de chez eux durant plusieurs jours ou qui invitent un étranger chez eux déclencheront une alerte. De même, l'assureur Ping An se sert de la reconnaissance faciale pour repérer les employés qui sèchent une réunion et une école de Hangzhou a installé des caméras à l'avant des salles de classe pour repérer les élèves qui ne suivent pas en cours." "Au xviiie siècle, le philosophe utilitariste Jeremy Bentham imagine une architecture carcérale, le panoptique, dans lequel les geôliers, installés dans une tour centrale, sont en mesure de surveiller tous les faits et gestes des prisonniers sans être visibles eux-mêmes (photo : la prison de Crest Hill, en Illinois, en 1928). Les détenus, qui ne peuvent savoir s'ils sont observés ou non, se trouvent contraints à une permanente docilité. Pour Bentham, on peut étendre le principe aux usines, aux écoles ou aux hôpitaux. Michel Foucault, deux cents ans plus tard, considère dans Surveiller et punir que « cette visibilité organisée entièrement autour d'un

The rise of the ubiquitous voice assistant - 0 views
-
"-Smart speakers are not broadly useful-most users only use them for a few things-music, timers, alarms, and, in some cases, home automation scenarios. - Voice-only situations are limiting in cases where a visual or hybrid mode is required - media, entertainment, shopping, etc. - Engagement levels with third-party skills are very low (skills offer limited functionality and skills syntax is hard to remember). "I'm sorry, I don't know that" and other Alexa failures are no longer entertaining, but rather frustrating. Even Amazon acknowledges this [https://www.tomsguide.com/us/amazon-alexa-kills-skills,news-28072.html] - Smart speakers are NOT ubiquitous-the speaker on my kitchen counter is not in my car nor in my office!" "Apps - do we need to reinvent the wheel?" "Most people already have their banking, communications, social networking, navigation, travel and payment apps in their smartphones. They already know how to use them (simple). They already know which ones to use for what purpose-Slack for work, WhatsApp for friends, Messenger for family (user choice). They've already registered and set them up and they provide control over what information goes where-for instance, their portfolio may be in their banking app, their contacts are on the phone. They know which app sees what data (privacy). They also trust apps to protect them and their data. Imagine a voice assistant platform that just allows users to use the apps they already use-on-the-go - anytime, anywhere-with simple voice commands, without having to register these service relationships again, and without waiting for the developers to have to reinvent the wheel to plug into the platform. We must embrace mobile app actions as first-class citizens. We should be able to do things in our mobile apps with simple voice commands. We must provide user choice and personalize user experience without registration and without compromising privacy and trust."

Does the Rise of Bots Sound the Death Knell for Voice? – TechNative - 0 views
-
"If voicebots provide value, then consumers will not hesitate to use them. [...] But convenience isn't one-sided. It has to be equally convenient for the business and for the consumer. And there are many underlying social, moral and legal implications to consider as this technology matures in support of that balance. How do you ensure a voicebot behaves ethically? How do you prevent inflection and sentiment analysis being deployed to manipulate people during a bot conversation? What do bots do with the information consumers provide? Will they remember credit card numbers? Where does information go? How is it stored? Who and what else can access it? There are severe privacy implications too. In Europe, for example, voicebots must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (which came into force last year)." [...] "And businesses deploying voicebots also had better be prepared for the hefty weight of user expectation. As humans, we are biologically wired to recognize voices and instinctively recall what we can do with the associated persona. " [...] "Even though voicebots are soon going to be everywhere, we are not going to be comfortable talking to them all the time. They will have utility, and they will be more convenient for quick queries and simple tasks. But, being able to talk with a real person about messy human matters has value that a bot can never be trained to manage completely and infallibly. "

Do Voice Assistants Really Understand a Word You Say? | Security Zap - 0 views
-
"For humans, understanding voice and words alone are signs of intelligence. Intelligence is, in a basic sense, the ability to solve problems. Recognizing words is a part of the problem. It is a start. Holding a conversation, however, takes some imagination and making contextual connections. Even Einstein believed imagination to be the true sign of intelligence. In that sense, lacking imagination and context, your voice assistant does understand the words you say, but it doesn't really understand you."

> la BBC ne met plus ses podcasts à disposition des services google podcast ou google assistant "You might have also seen that our podcasts are no longer available on certain Google products - including the Google Podcast app and Google assistant. I want to explain a little bit about why that has happened. Last year, Google launched its own podcast app for Android users - they've also said they will launch a browser version for computers soon. Google has since begun to direct people who search for a BBC podcast into its own podcast service, rather than BBC Sounds or other third party services, which reduces people's choice - an approach that the BBC is not comfortable with and has consistently expressed strong concerns about. We asked them to exclude the BBC from this specific feature but they have refused. As a public service, we want our content and services to be available to as many people as possible and we make these available for free on a range of third-party apps. But as the BBC, funded by the licence fee payers in the UK, we have to ensure it is done in a way that is good for all audiences, according to our Distribution Policy - which has been agreed with Ofcom." "We also want to make our programmes and services as good as they can possibly be - this means us getting hold of meaningful audience data. This helps us do a number of things; make more types of programmes we know people like, make our services even more personalised and relevant to people using them, and equally importantly, identify gaps in our commissioning to ensure we're making something for all audiences. Unfortunately, given the way the Google podcast service operates, we can't do any of the above."
« Le recours aux assistants vocaux, un mouvement irréversible - Challenges - 0 views

"INTERVIEW - [...] Luc Bretones, le directeur du Technocentre d'Orange et d'Orange Fab, détaille ce que l'Intelligence artificielle apporte aux assistants vocaux." "Ce nouvel usage demande du temps pour que les personnes se l'approprient mais, une fois ce cap passé, elles y trouvent un bénéfice évident et n'arrêtent pas de l'utiliser. La commande de la télévision par TV d'Orange est ainsi très pratique. En ce qui concerne Orange Bank, l'essentiel des requêtes de nos clients sur notre chatbot est traité par notre IA avec une grande efficacité. Pour Orange, il y a également un enjeu important d'inclusion, notamment des personnes qui ne savent pas lire ou écrire ou celles qui sont malvoyantes. Grâce à Djingo, elles vont pouvoir gagner en autonomie. "

"Montre-moi comment tu parles, je te dirai qui tu es C'est le cas de Voicesense, par exemple, une société israélienne basée à Tel Aviv qui utilise l'analyse vocale en temps réel pendant des appels pour évaluer si quelqu'un est susceptible d'être en défaut sur un prêt bancaire, d'acheter un produit plus cher, ou d'être le meilleur candidat pour un emploi. Voicesense exploite le pouvoir de la voix, reliant les modèles de parole aux tendances personnelles pour prévoir le comportement individuel. Pour Voicesense, « la voix est partout. L'écoute des interactions vocales révèle les caractéristiques fondamentales d'une personne, bien plus que ce que les mots réels ne peuvent transmettre. »"

Dont « Song ID », la nouvelle fonctionnalité d'Alexa qui permet d'identifier une chanson avant qu'elle ne se lance, ou encore « Alexa Mobile Accessory », qui permet à l'enceinte connectée de vous suivre partout, même en voiture."

Digital Consumer Survey 2019 | Accenture - 0 views
-
" Voice continues its rise as the new user interface-and it's a global phenomenon. Half of online consumers now use a Digital Voice Assistant (DVA), with people in China, the UAE, India and Mexico leading the way. The use of standalone DVAs (ie smart speakers such as Amazon Echo, Google Home and Apple HomePod) in the United States has outstripped embedded DVA use in smartphones and other devices. Based on anticipated purchases, standalone DVA is now on track to be one of the fastest adopted technologies in US history. While there is concern around privacy and data collection from DVAs, if companies focus on establishing trust and transparency, they will see overall growth."
