The Ifri Center for Geopolitics of Technology is pleased to welcome two leading figures in AI: Geoffrey Hinton (2024 Nobel Prize in Physics), often referred to as the “godfather of AI”; and Arthur Mensch (CEO of Mistral AI), a key player in the emerging European AI landscape.
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence systems raises questions that go far beyond technical considerations: the vulnerability of critical infrastructure, shifts in the balance of power among nations, and a growing lack of governance tools.
Together, they will exchange perspectives to shed light on a crucial question: how can we anticipate, manage, and mitigate the systemic risks of AI on an international scale?

Reinventing Coordination in an Age of Fragmentation 3rd Paris Geoeconomic Dialogue
The world economy is being reordered.

What once looked like a stable architecture now appears fragile, contested, and in places actively being dismantled.
