M, also known as Facebook^[4] M, is a assistant virtuel^[2] developed by Facebook. It was initially introduced to a group of 10,000 users for testing in April 2017 and functioned within the Facebook Messenger platform. M combined intelligence artificielle^[1] with human intervention, using algorithms to comprehend user requests and human assistance when the AI couldn’t understand. Although it was discontinued in January 2018, its technologie^[5] and insights have continued to influence other AI projects at Facebook. M also introduced a feature called M Suggestions, which used machine learning^[3] to scan chats for keywords and offer relevant actions, such as facilitating payments. Despite its termination, M remains a significant part of Facebook’s journey into virtual assistant technology.

Définitions des termes

1. ↑ intelligence artificielle.

1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the field of computer science that aims to create systems capable of performing tasks that would normally require human intelligence. These tasks include reasoning, learning, planning, perception, and language understanding. AI draws from different fields including psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and neuroscience. The field is prominent in developing machine learning models and natural language processing systems. It also plays a significant role in creating virtual assistants and affective computing systems. AI applications extend across various sectors including healthcare, industry, government, and education. Despite its benefits, AI also raises ethical and societal concerns, necessitating regulatory policies. AI continues to evolve with advanced techniques such as deep learning and generative AI, offering new possibilities in various industries.

2 Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, is a field of computer science dedicated to creating intelligent machines that perform tasks typically requiring human intellect. These tasks include problem-solving, recognizing speech, understanding natural language, and making decisions. AI is categorised into two types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a specific task, like voice recognition, and general AI, which can perform any intellectual tasks a human being can do. It's a continuously evolving technology that draws from various fields including computer science, mathematics, psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience. The core concepts of AI include reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, natural language processing, and perception. AI has wide-ranging applications across numerous sectors, from healthcare and gaming to military and creativity, and its ethical considerations and challenges are pivotal to its development and implementation.

2. ↑ assistant virtuel.

1 A Virtual Assistant, often abbreviated as VA, is a digital tool that uses artificial intelligence to perform various tasks and services. These tasks include, but are not limited to, answering queries, controlling devices, managing schedules, and more. The functionality of a VA is achieved through different interaction methods such as voice commands, text-based communication, and image recognition. Over time, continuous advancements in AI and natural language processing have significantly improved VAs, making them more sophisticated and user-friendly. Furthermore, VAs have found applications in a multitude of industries, where they are used for information retrieval, entertainment, customer support, and conversational commerce, among other things. Notable examples of VAs include Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, and Bixby. They are integrated into various devices and operating systems, demonstrating their broad utility and reach.

2 Virtual assistants are a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that perform tasks and services for an individual, often based on commands or questions. The evolution of this technology began in the 1900s with early voice-activated devices. The application and capabilities of virtual assistants have significantly grown, ranging from managing emails to controlling home appliances. Notable examples include Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, and Bixby. Advancements in AI and language models have revolutionized their conversation abilities, making interactions with users more human-like. However, their widespread use has also raised privacy, security, and ethical concerns. Despite this, they have economic significance and are integrated into various industries, driven by the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT). The global market for this technology is expected to exceed US$7.5 billion by 2024.
