Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.

This Tuesday, he is interested in an artificial intelligence that mimics writing from a single handwritten word.

According to him, this innovation poses a real ethical question.

Today's innovation will make graphologists scream.

You have found an artificial intelligence capable of imitating any handwriting to perfection.

It is also very simple: you take a photo of a word in the writing you want to copy.

You type your text on a computer.

And as the font, you choose the famous photo.

Instantly it will redraw the letters in the same style as what you photographed.

It is extremely well done.

The program learns the characteristics of handwriting and can reproduce any letter, even if it has never seen it.

All this, only, by analyzing the style of what was photographed.

It is not very reassuring.

It will make it possible to make a mess of falsehoods.

Fortunately, he is not yet copying the signatures.

But that will not be long in coming.

For Anicet Mbida, this demonstrates the main problem with current research in artificial intelligence: there is no ethics.

Contrary to what is done in medical research, researchers can open any Pandora's box, no one says anything.

It started with the "Deep Fake", this technology which makes it possible to plaster the face of anybody, on the body of another.

The first time it was used was to stick the head of a famous actress on the body of a porn actress.

Today, technology is available to anyone.

It is time for researchers to self-regulate.

Because with artificial intelligence, we now know how to imitate anyone's voice, create faces from scratch, make real fake satellite maps.

It could end very badly.

Yet Europe is trying to regulate artificial intelligence.

Yes, but not the United States or China.

This is why Anicet Mbida insists on ethics, on global rules as in medicine.

There had to be research that we should refrain from conducting.

It may be utopian, but technology must above all serve the common good.
