Did you know that 80% of data generated today is unlabeled? Unsupervised learning is becoming an essential pillar of artificial intelligence: it can detect hidden structures in raw data, without human supervision.

Discover how supervised learning is revolutionizing machine learning and modern AI. Get started with AlphAI, the educational AI solution from Learning Robots!

Discover reinforcement learning: a pillar of modern machine learning, explained simply with concrete examples and the AlphAI solution.

"Can a machine imitate human behavior?" With this simple question, Alan Turing, mathematician and visionary, opened one of the most profound debates of the 20th century - and probably of the 21st too.

Did you know that a simple sentence can make all the difference in an AI's response? Formulate it well, and you get a clear, inspiring, perfectly structured text. Formulate it badly... and you end up with a vague, off-topic or disappointing response. This is the power of the prompt.

In recent months, they've been everywhere. ChatGPT, DALL-E, Midjourney, Copilot... Generative AIs are unleashing passions that range from fascination to fear to incomprehension. They are at the heart of technological, educational, artistic and cultural debates, and their impact is already being felt in many areas of everyday life, from the professional world to the personal sphere.

There's a common misunderstanding in discussions of artificial intelligence: some people refer to generative AIs such as ChatGPT or DALL-E as AGI. But AGI doesn't stand for "Artificial Generative Intelligence", it stands for "Artificial General Intelligence".
