Object of fear and fantasy, robots have long inspired screenwriters.

But if

Matrix

or

I, Robot

imagined a bleak future, advances in the field of artificial intelligence have led directors to sketch universes more and more believable.

Like

Real Humans

, will we soon see Hubots, androids similar to their creators, invading factories, homes and stores?

Real applications

While there is still a long way to go to get there, artificial intelligence (AI) is already a reality.

Without knowing it, most individuals have already been in contact with artificial intelligence software in their daily lives.

This is the case, for example, when you use the voice assistant on your telephone or when you ask questions to the “chatbot” which welcomes you to a commercial site to ask you if it can help you.

This virtual character is designed to mimic a normal conversation with an advisor to answer common user questions.

The first autonomous cars like the Tesla were also full of AI, in order to drive the car while taking its environment into account.

How to train?

Although most professions related to artificial intelligence have yet to be invented, engineers and researchers are already carving out the lion's share in this high-potential sector.

Applicants must therefore have a highly qualified scientific profile.

To achieve this, several ways are possible.

Most computer science schools integrate a specialization in artificial intelligence first, as do some masters in computer science and mathematics offered at the university.

Several engineering schools also offer courses dedicated to AI, including the École Polytechnique, which got started in 2018 by launching a Graduate degree in artificial intelligence.

Other courses aim to meet the expectations of the health sector.

The École des Mines Saint-Étienne has thus created a Master of Science in Health Management & Data Intelligence, while the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paris launched the first Chair in Artificial Intelligence in Health with a DU, masterclasses and seminars. .

The artificial intelligence engineer

A flagship profession, the artificial intelligence engineer designs the famous computer programs imitating human reflection.

Both researcher and computer scientist, this highly qualified professional must analyze the functioning of our brain on a given problem in order to reproduce it at the software level.

This expert can work in an innovative start-up as well as in a large company or a research center, all in various fields of activity ranging from IT to weapons, including industrial production.

From the start, this specialized engineer can claim a salary of around 30,000 euros gross per year, before doubling his salary fairly quickly.
