I IA pas que la Data
Since September 2023, Thomas Meimoun and I have been welcoming the French-speaking voices of AI for long-form conversations. Researchers, founders, philosophers, doctors, former military officers, engineers. The point isn't to chase the news : it is to take the time to listen to the people who actually build things. The podcast is hosted by Transistor, open access, and syndicated across every podcast platform. Anne Beauchart handles editing, marketing, and supported the launch of the podcast.
