"The human has an attention problem that the machine does not have."

At Adopt AI - Grand Palais 2025, Stéphane Timpano, CEO of Aspire, joins Rémi Tibi, Founder & CEO of Yunik, for a Deep Talk on high-speed autonomous mobility and what it reveals about the state of artificial intelligence. The conversation moves from the structure of Abu Dhabi's innovation ecosystem to Super Formula cars racing without a driver, then to the transversal challenges Aspire is opening on water and agriculture.

Why does the market keep asking how capable AI has become, when eleven teams already race it every year against a human lap time that anyone can read?
