ChatGPT Agent: OpenAI Introduces an AI Capable of Planning, Executing… and Learning
Since the emergence of large language models, conversational artificial intelligence has made rapid strides in understanding, content generation, and interactivity. But until now, assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have been limited to the role of a conversational partner, unable to take direct action within a digital environment.
Ocean AI: How Artificial Intelligence Is Helping to Protect Whales in Polynesia
Protecting marine biodiversity is now a global challenge, one that is particularly acute in the oceans’ fragile ecosystems. In French Polynesia, humpback whales, iconic migratory species, face growing pressures: maritime traffic, noise pollution, warming waters, and disruption of their breeding grounds. In light of these challenges, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a strategic tool for cetacean conservation.
