On Monday, September 7, Frédéric Simottel, a French tech journalist, participated in a discussion with several prominent figures in the European tech industry. The guests included Hugo Borensztein, co-founder and president of Omi, a company focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning; Stan Larroque, operations director at Parrot and founder of Lynx, a startup specializing in AI-driven robotics; and André Loesekrug-Pietri, president of the Joint European Disruptive Initiative (JEDI), an organization that supports high-risk, high-reward research projects across Europe.
The conversation centered on OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research organization based in the United States. The discussion highlighted concerns about OpenAI's most advanced AI systems, which have raised questions about how well they can be controlled or predicted. The participants also addressed the lack of centralized oversight over AI agents—software programs designed to perform tasks autonomously—developed by OpenAI.
Additionally, the conversation touched on a recent initiative by some OpenAI scientists, who have called for a temporary slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence. This call comes amid growing concerns about the potential risks associated with highly advanced AI systems, including their impact on employment, privacy, and global security.
The discussion took place during Tech & Co, a daily radio program broadcast on BFM Business, a French financial news channel. The show airs from Monday to Thursday and is also available as a podcast, allowing listeners to engage with the content at their convenience.
