Objets connectés : les cinq questions à poser avant d’acheter
La caméra est encore en parfait état. Son application s’ouvre, son voyant s’allume, et pourtant une question reste sans réponse : qui corrigera sa prochaine faille de sécurité ?

Ce sont des critères de choix, pas des détails réservés aux informaticiens. Voici une méthode…

L’IA est un défi environnemental pour la planète et une « opportunité pour la France »
Consommez français… oui, c’est quoi français ? Pour réduire l’empreinte environnementale des IA (génératives), un rapport du Sénat préconise une IA « française ».

Cela soulève toutefois des questions sur le foncier et l’acceptation sociale. La commission de l’aménagement du territoire et du développement durable du Sénat vient de…
