Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Bernard Benhamou, Secretary General of France’s Institute of Digital Sovereignty. Benhamou examines the intersection of traditional espionage, geopolitical rivalry and the extraordinary concentration of power within the global AI industry. Discussing allegations surrounding Nvidia’s leadership, he describes the chipmaker as “the banker of the global AI system,” a striking characterization that captures the company’s importance not merely as a semiconductor manufacturer, but as a central actor in the economic and technological infrastructure underpinning the AI boom. “Because humans stay humans.” Benhamou identifies one of the central paradoxes of the artificial intelligence revolution: even as technological systems acquire unprecedented strategic and economic importance, the individuals who control them remain susceptible to familiar forms of influence, manipulation and misjudgment.
