Nicolas Sabouret, professor of computer science at Paris-Saclay University, answers RFI's questions. He explains what AI is, its history, how it works, what it can bring and what its dangers are. The term artificial intelligence is quite misleading, he says, as it is computer computing in which we have simplified the problem.
