Videoconference on European growth and artificial intelligence

On Tuesday 11 February, we hosted a video conference with Xavier Jaravel, a French economist and professor at the London School of Economics.

We discussed European growth, the importance of disruptive innovation and, of course, artificial intelligence.

With France hosting the AI summit from 6 February, this issue remains an object of fascination, as well as a source of concern. What future for growth ? What are the risks ? How can it be used ? What role does this technology play in geopolitics? These are just some of the issues we discussed with Xavier Jaravel.

Thank you to him for his enlightening answers and to all the participants for their questions and their interest in this subject.

Below are three books recommended by our guest for further reading :
