How chatbots will make voice the primary user interface
Computers, like many other technologies, were originally made for the 1 percent. More than 50 years ago, people would be as likely to touch a computer as to perform brain surgery. It wasn’t until Apple created the Apple II, specifically marketed to the masses, that computers began to penetrate the American market. And it wasn’t until many years afterward that computers (including tablets and smartphones) became truly present in the global market. Lire la suite sur VentureBeat
Entrepreneurs, ayons le sens du terroir
"Exceptionnellement, tu n'iras pas en cours aujourd'hui, je te propose de m'accompagner en rendez-vous en Californie, nous devons aller observer la méthode de transformation d'orange de l'un de nos fournisseurs." Mon père m'a très tôt pris sous son aile, parfois au détriment de l'école. Difficile à dire. Cela m'a au moins permis de voyager très tôt, de découvrir de nouvelles cultures et d'acquérir une certaine ouverture d'esprit. Surtout, cela m'a enseigné l'art de faire des choix.

L'intelligence artificielle augmentera-t-elle les inégalités ?
La « révolution numérique », pour peu que l’on adopte ce terme orientant la réflexion dans un sens quelque peu déterministe, accélère une polarisation du marché du travail entre jobs de très haut niveau et boulots ras-du-bitume, dans les cieux du pouvoir cognitif ou dans la boue du labeur précaire et prolétarisé. Bref, d’un côté les cerveaux pilotes de nos nouveaux dispositifs digitaux et de nos centres de décision et de création de notre nouvel hypercapitalisme ; de l’autre les serfs soumis à la machine et aux chefs à plumes de l’or immatériel des données et de l’économie de la connaissance.

Will robots displace humans as motorised vehicles ousted horses?
In the early 20th century the future seemed bright for horse employment. Within 50 years cars and tractors made short work of equine livelihoods. Some futurists see a cautionary tale for humanity in the fate of the horse: it was economically indispensable until it wasn’t. The common retort to such concerns is that humans are far more cognitively adaptable than beasts of burden. Yet as robots grow more nimble, humans look increasingly vulnerable. A new working paper concludes that, between 1990 and 2007, each industrial robot added per thousand workers reduced employment in America by nearly six workers. Humanity may not be sent out to pasture, but the parallel with horses is still uncomfortably close. Lire la suite sur The Economist
Why Business Leaders Make the Best Social Entrepreneurs
Social entrepreneurship is all the rage these days. Millennials in particular seem to be attracted to the combination of being their own boss and having their careers mean something beyond making a buck selling products and services. But if that’s your goal, you’d be far better off cutting your teeth in the conventional business world first. Lire la suite sur Entrepreneur.com
