• Bernhard Schölkopf (Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems) explores causal learning, the potential for explainable AI, and the evolving role of classical machine learning alongside large-scale AI systems.
• Erik Brynjolfsson (Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI) offers perspectives on the societal and economic impacts of AI, underappreciated areas of AI innovation, and the potential timeline for autonomous AI surpassing human capabilities.
• Eric Moulines (École Polytechnique – IP Paris) discusses Bayesian inference, the influence of signal processing and statistics on modern AI, and potential breakthroughs over the next 10–20 years.
• Eric Xing (MBZUAI) examines the potential of automated machine learning (AutoML), his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, and how emerging AI hubs in the Middle East are reshaping the global AI landscape.
• Emmanuel Candès (Stanford University) reflects on robustness, conformal prediction, and the role of uncertainty quantification in shaping trustworthy AI systems.

Additional episodes feature prominent experts including:

Thierry Coulhon (President of IP Paris), Ece Kamar (Microsoft), David D. Cox (IBM), Stéphane Mallat (Collège de France), Daniel Cremers (Technical University of Munich), Karim Beguir (InstaDeep), Dame Wendy Hall (University of Southampton), Ricardo Vinuesa (University of Michigan), Iryna Gurevych (TU Darmstadt), Meeyoung Cha (Max Planck Institute), Alison Noble (Oxford University), Danielle Allen (Harvard University), Laura Chaubard (General Director and Acting President of École Polytechnique), and Anne Bouverot (French President's Special Envoy for AI).

About the AI Experts Series

Recorded during the AI Action Summit – Science Days, organized by IP Paris in collaboration with the French government in February 2025, the series provides rare access to thought leaders shaping AI research, applications, and governance worldwide.

As the world looks toward India’s 2026 AI Impact Summit, these discussions are more relevant than ever, highlighting both the transformative potential of AI and the critical global conversations around ethics, sustainability, and international collaboration that will define the next era of technology.
