Mike Krieger, CPO at Anthropic, shared an insightful challenge when it comes to working with AI: how do we get it to push back and not just agree? As he put it on stage at #VivaTech, “I have to ask Claude sometimes, be harsh on me. Tell me what’s really wrong with my idea.” The key to innovation is challenging our ideas, and sometimes, that means AI needs to provide the tough feedback we need to move forward. How do you ensure your AI is helping you think critically and challenge your ideas?

The influence economy is being rewritten, and creators are now in the driver’s seat.

How is your brand preparing for the creator-led future?

At #VivaTech, French handball legend Nikola Karabatic and Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg shared what it takes to lead under pressure — on the court and in the boardroom. Resilience, focus, and the ability to deliver when it counts. That’s leadership at every level.

AI isn’t here to beat us at what we do best. It’s here to fill the gaps 🤖 At #VivaTech, Yann LeCun (Meta’s Chief AI Scientist) reminded us that machines have been outperforming humans in certain tasks for decades—chess, Go, solving equations, even finding the fastest route on a map. The real opportunity? Build AI systems that excel where humans don’t. That’s how he believes we create real impact. Where do you think AI could make the biggest difference?
