La culture est le catalyseur de l'intelligence. Une intelligence artificielle sans la capacité d'interagir culturellement ne serait rien de plus qu'une curiosité académique. Or la culture ne peut pas être codée dans une machine; elle doit être le résultat d'un processus d'apprentissage.
Culture is the essential catalyst of intelligence and an AI without the capability to interact culturally would be nothing more than an academic curiosity. However, culture can not be hand coded into a machine; it must be the result of a learning process.
