À mesure que les systèmes d’intelligence artificielle gagnent en puissance et en autonomie, leur fonctionnement devient de plus en plus difficile à saisir. Des chercheurs mettent en garde contre une tendance qui pourrait compliquer notre capacité à garder le contrôle sur ces technologies.

Researchers have developed a fish-like robot that shows how some species of modern fish are able to walk

Pendant longtemps, prédire le vainqueur d’une Coupe du monde relevait presque de la divination. Aujourd’hui, les algorithmes sont à l’œuvre. En combinant statistiques, expertise sportive et apprentissage automatique, des chercheurs simulent des milliers de scénarios pour estimer les chances...

Single cells used past nutrient shocks to change how they grew.

It feels like there's no escaping AI right now, whether you’re trying to type a sentence without being interrupted by a digital “assistant” or struggling to find a new refrigerator that doesn’t require a Wi-Fi connection for some reason. You’d be forgiven for wondering if we’re in the midst of a quantum leap in tech or whether people are just hyping up a heap of slop.

So what should we make of the growing use of AI in weather and climate modeling?

The conversation didn't get off to a great start earlier this year when a National Weather Service office posted a forecast map featuring nonexistent cities in Idaho with names like “Whata Bod” and “Orangeotild.” Thankfully, that was just an AI-generated image produced for social media, not the actual forecast model. Meteorologists and climate scientists are not yet being replaced by large language model prompt engineers.
