In Episode #38, host John Sherman talks with Maxime Fournes, Founder, Pause AI France. With the third AI “Safety” Summit coming up in Paris in February 2025, we examine France’s role in AI safety, revealing France to be among the very worst when it comes to taking AI risk seriously. How deep is madman Yan Lecun’s influence in French society and government? And would France even join an international treaty? The conversation covers the potential for international treaties on AI safety, the psychological factors influencing public perception, and the power dynamics shaping AI's future.
