Artificial intelligence / intelligence artificielle

Big idea: 
Computers versus humans (artificial intelligence vs human intelligence) 

Inquiry questions:
• How does a computer  mimic the neural networks of the human body? 
• How do computers abilities compare to that of humans? 
• Can computer do some things better than a human can?
​• Will robots soon be smarter than humans?

What is AI?:

Qu'est-ce que IA? 

Intelligence is the ability to learn and to deal with new situations. When a computer or a robot solves a problem or uses language, it may seem to be intelligent. ... It is called artificial intelligence, or AI.
L'intelligence est la capacité d'apprendre et de faire face à de nouvelles situations. Lorsqu'un ordinateur ou un robot résout un problème ou utilise un langage, il peut sembler intelligent. ... On l'appelle cela l'intelligence artificielle, ou IA.

Examples of Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life:

Playing chess against a computer

Self Driving cars (AI)

In the future, AI will shorten your commute even further via self-driving cars that result in up to 90% fewer accidents, more efficient ride sharing to  reduce the number of cars on the road by up to 75%, and smart traffic lights that reduce wait times by 40% and overall travel time by 26% in a pilot study.
The timeline for some of these changes is unclear, as predictions vary about when self-driving cars will become a reality: BI Intelligence predicts fully-autonomous vehicleswill debut in 2019; Uber CEO Travis Kalanick says the timeline for self-driving cars is “a years thing, not a decades thing”; Andrew Ng, Chief Scientist at Baidu and Stanford faculty member, predicted in early 2016 that self-driving cars will be mass produced by 2021. On the other hand, The Wall Street Journal interviewed several experts who say fully autonomous vehicles are decades away. TechEmergence also discussed the timeline for a self-driving car with Eran Shir, CEO of AI-powered dashcam app Nexar, who believes virtual chauffeurs are closer than we think. ​

AI for the visually impaired

Baidu helps visually impaired people perceive the real world
Across the Pacific, Chinese search giant Baidu is also developing a service to help the visually impaired perceive the world through sound. But rather than describing the content of an image, Baidu’s DuLight (see video below) aims to describe the objects one would experience in the real world. The device attaches to an individual’s ear like a Bluetooth headset. When DuLight is pointed forward, it scans the objects within its vicinity and, using Baidu’s highly sophisticated image recognition system, conveys the objects to its wearer. 
Baidu claims the device can identify more than just everyday objects – DuLight can apparently recognize product labels, street signs, landmarks, and even the faces of friends.
