Bruno Maisonnier - CEO & Founder, AnotherBrain

The discussion centers on the current state and future potential of Artificial Intelligence. Bruno Maisonnier, CEO and founder of AnotherBrain, argues that current AI is merely statistics, lacking true intelligence. He advocates for a shift to neuro-inspired AI, modeled after the human brain, to overcome limitations in power consumption and bias. Maisonnier believes countries lagging in AI should leapfrog to this next generation. The conversation explores the implications of AI replacing jobs, with an estimate of 70% of traditional jobs being replaced. The potential of genetic engineering is mentioned as a future technology with even greater transformative power. Ana Blanquart questions the readiness of educational systems to adapt to these rapid changes, highlighting the need to teach children how to learn and foster a willingness to explore new things. Maisonnier expresses optimism about humankind's ability to adapt and overcome challenges posed by new technologies. Europe's risk-averse approach and the lack of technical expertise among its politicians are also discussed.
