I welcome Anne Bouverot, France’s Special Envoy for Artificial Intelligence and Chair of the Board of the École Normale Supérieure


In this episode, we explore:

  • Anne’s exceptional career as a scientist and woman leader, breaking through two glass ceilings while embodying humility and generosity.
  • Her role as special envoy for the Global AI Action Summit in February 2025, where she gained an inside view of political and economic power. She shares fascinating anecdotes, including Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, rejecting Elon Musk’s offer during the summit.
  • Her vision for AI: its benefits, its challenges and the urgent need to strengthen women’s representation to combat gender bias.
  • AI’s impact on the environment and its potential to help everyone develop their talents and create value
