Raising awareness is no longer enough: faced with this new world, mastery of artificial intelligence tools must now be integrated into fundamental knowledge. Knowing how to prompt must rank alongside reading, writing and counting.
Original quote (French)
Sensibiliser ne suffit plus : face à ce nouveau monde, la maîtrise des outils d'intelligence artificielle doit désormais être intégrée aux savoirs fondamentaux. Il faut savoir prompter au même titre que lire, écrire et compter.Source: attalpresident.fr · archived copy
