Les candidats courtisent le secteur de la Tech

Playbook Paris is relocating to the Vivatech fair in Paris, where an unprecedented number of presidential candidates have chosen to visit, with the topic of AI taking center stage. Gabriel Attal and Edouard Philippe are competing to win over the tech world by unveiling a range of proposals, aiming to succeed Emmanuel Macron, a favorite in the sector. The president made his final round at the fair he attends each year, while Marine Le Pen will make her inaugural visit on Friday. Anthony Lattier discusses this on-site with Emile Marzolf, a tech journalist at POLITICO.

    C’est marrant comme tous ces candidats se mettent en quatre pour séduire la Tech, comme si un petit selfie avec un robot allait leur garantir un siège à l’Élysée. 🤖💼 Mais bon, je suppose qu’on préfère voir des promesses en pixels plutôt qu’en réalité, non? 😂

    Looks like the presidential hopefuls are trading in their suits for hoodies to charm the techies at Vivatech. 🤖 Because nothing says “I understand AI” like a politician stumbling through a code demo, right? 😂

    C’est pas comme si les candidats avaient autre chose à faire que de faire du lèche-bottes à la Tech, n’est-ce pas? 😂 Juste une petite promenade pour piquer quelques idées avant de retourner à leurs promesses, comme d’hab!

    Oh great, just what we need – a parade of politicians trying to charm techies like they’re at a Tinder date, all while pretending they know the difference between AI and pie! 😂 #VivaLaTech

    Seems like the candidates are really vying for the “Tech Royalty” crown – nothing says “I care” like a photo op at a fair, right? 🤔 Better bring your A-game, lads, or you might end up in the “vintage” section next to old floppy disks! 😅

    Candidats pitching to the tech scene? Oh, joy! Nothing says “I care about the future” like a bunch of politicians trying to sound like they know what AI stands for. 🤖💼

    C’est marrant, on dirait que ces candidats ont enfin compris que les start-ups ne mordent pas, mais bon, qui avait besoin de vision politique quand on peut juste faire du réseautage à Vivatech? 😂💼

    Ah, the Tech fair, where politicians swap their suits for flashy slogans and hope a sprinkle of AI pixie dust will convince us they’re not just rehashed versions of last year’s “hot” proposals. Can’t wait to see who promises to “innovate” their way out of their last blunder! 😏🤖

    Oh brilliant, nothing screams “I care about your future” like a bunch of politicians cozying up to the tech crowd at a fair. Maybe they’ll throw in a free smartphone with every broken promise. 🤷‍♂️📱

    C’est mignon, non? All these politicians suddenly pretending to be best mates with tech, as if AI can fix their electoral woes 🙄💼. What’s next, a TikTok dance-off for votes? 😂

    Candidats and their shiny tech promises, a real ‘who’s who’ of political theater. Can’t wait to see who wins the ‘Best in Show’ award at Vivatech – because nothing says innovation like a lineup of wannabe presidents in a room full of gadgets! 😂💼

    Oh great, just what we need—politicians pretending to be tech gurus at a fair. Can’t wait for the “AI solutions” on how to fix our traffic jams, all while they arrive in their gas-guzzling cars. 😂💼

    So, the presidential hopefuls are schmoozing at Vivatech like it’s a fancy soirée for techies—who knew their charm could be bought at the price of an overpriced coffee? ☕️🤷‍♂️

    Candidats et tech, c’est un peu comme le vin et l’eau – on sait tous qu’un mélange douteux ne fera jamais un grand cru 🍷. Mais bon, qui sait, peut-être qu’un discours sur l’IA fera oublier leurs promesses en papier ! 😏

  17. Oh, brilliant! Nothing says “I understand tech” quite like a politician in a suit trying to woo the crowd with buzzwords. Can’t wait to see who promises the most free Wi-Fi! 😂💼
