Highlights:

“Change will take you off balance, but if we were constantly on balance, we wouldn’t be walking. Part of walking is being off balance.” - 3:40 - Thierry Bujon de l'Estang

“I would never shoot out anything that comes directly from AI without having some form of control - that’s where the added value of your brain is.” - 9:10 - Thierry Bujon de l'Estang

“You should never be afraid to ask questions, because the simple fact of asking questions proves that you have interest. If you have interest, be it positive or negative, at least you're engaging in a dialogue, which will lead to some exchange.” - 14:30 - Thierry Bujon de l'Estang

“Maybe looking back on my career, I should have done a bit more planning. But then I think that if you're planning too much, you miss the opportunity to be curious.” - 21:35 - Thierry Bujon de l'Estang
