Science Bar "Artificial intelligence: stronger than the brain?"

Thursday, March 15, 2018 from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Brasserie le Dôme - Montpellier
Free admission (subject to availability)


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of making machines perform tasks that humans perform using their intelligence.
AI is already well established in most sectors of activity: healthcare, transport, energy, finance, commerce, administration... There is no limit to what it can do, as long as it has sufficient data and enormous computing power.
Although the way a computer works differs from human intelligence in many respects, it tries to come close to it, or even match it: this is one of the major challenges of Artificial Intelligence.
AI is changing the world, and doing so at breakneck speed. But just how far can it transform our lives and turn our daily lives upside down?
This science-society debate, which is part of the Brain Weekwill be hosted by :

• Jean-Michel Cambot, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of start-up Tellmeplus - Predictive objets ;
• Michel Chein, Professor Emeritus at the University of Montpellier, researcher in the Graphik team (CNRS - LIRMM - INRIA), member of the Académie des Sciences et Lettres de Montpellier;
