One of Europe's biggest technology and startup events, VivaTech, is underway in the French capital, with AI at the top of the agenda. Around 200,000 visitors, including one of the world's most famous entrepreneurs, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, alongside ViveTech regular, French President Emmanuel Macron.
Out on the show floor, Euronews has been asking visitors the same two questions: which technology worries them most, and which one excites them most. The answer to both, more often than not, is artificial intelligence.
"Oh, definitely AI," said one student from Morocco. Spanish tech worker Maria Isabel Fernandez Polo said AI is a tool that can deliver real benefits, but one that needs careful handling. "I think it can be amazing, but we need to be aware of the possibilities," she said.
