The Wikipedia cites inconsistent airspeed data and miscommunication between the pilots but reading through the safety report from the crash that it cites for this it seems like it was mostly the pilots miscommunications and over corrections that caused issues. The auto pilot and auto thrust kicked off and the pilots scrambled to figure out what was up and did a few miss inputs there and then the plane started warning of a stall and they didnt properly address the stall conditions
