🤖 What if artificial intelligence was actually surpassing us, for real?

AGI, multimodality, technological arms race… What still sounded like science fiction 5 years ago is now on researchers’ desks. And the deadlines are closing in faster than anyone expected.

In this article, I explore the big questions reshaping our relationship with AI:

→ Why are AGI predictions accelerating so fast?

→ What are the real challenges: alignment, inequality, geopolitics?

→ And above all: what role can Europe still play in this revolution?

We can no longer afford to wait before we understand.

OPINION

ChatGPT has already transformed the way we work, learn, create, and even structure our thinking. Yet behind the spectacular performance of artificial intelligence lie deeper limitations as well, hallucinations, bias, opacity, technological dependence, and a quiet reshaping of our intellectual bearings. This article explores how ChatGPT is revolutionizing the world, not only in our everyday uses, but also in our relationship with knowledge, education, work, and even the future of our civilization.

OPINION

A machine was fed with the equivalent of 10 million books. Then it was taught humanity.

he result? GPT-3 began solving advanced mathematics. Without anyone teaching it. It translated between programming languages. Detected invisible emotional signals. Wrote sonnets under seemingly impossible constraints.

Then GPT-4.5 arrived. Worse than its predecessor on certain tests. With no obvious explanation.

As if these models had their own cognitive weather.

Between 2018 and 2022, behind the closed doors of research laboratories, something was created that we still do not fully understand. Something that develops abilities no one explicitly taught it. And sometimes loses them, without anyone knowing why.

The cost of the operation: 200 million dollars. 25,000 GPUs. 20,000 hours of human labor just to teach it basic politeness.

If their creators discover abilities only after the fact, what other surprises might still be waiting for us?

OPINION

ChatGPT doesn’t think. And that’s even more fascinating than you imagine.

You believe you’re conversing with an intelligence? In reality, you’re talking to the most sophisticated parrot ever created.

A parrot that has read all of Wikipedia, every book in the Library of Congress, millions of articles and forums. A parrot capable of guessing, with unsettling precision, the exact word that should follow in any conversation.

Not because it understands. But because it has assimilated the patterns of everything humanity has written.

The difference between thinking and predicting? It’s dizzying.

Dive into the heart of the machine. Discover what truly lies behind the apparent magic.

OPINION

**November 2022.** One button. Five days. One million users.

ChatGPT has just been born, and nobody yet knows that the world will never quite be the same again. What took Facebook 10 months, Netflix 3 and a half years, happened in less than a week.

Today, you talk to it like you’d ask for the time. 400 million people do it every week. The machine has entered our thoughts. Discreetly. Massively.

But here’s the most troubling part: this revolution rests on a discovery only eight years old. A seemingly innocuous paper. An almost bureaucratic title: _”Attention Is All You Need”_.

Its authors probably didn’t know they had just rewritten history.

**How did a technology colonize our lives in so little time? How can a machine write like Hemingway, code like a senior developer, and sometimes… understand us better than we understand ourselves?**

In this five-part series, I’m taking you on a journey to the heart of this silent revolution. No jargon. No mystification. Just clarity.

Because understanding AI is no longer a luxury.
It’s become a civic necessity.
