One idea has always guided me: technology only makes sense if it illuminates our freedom — never if it eclipses it. It should help us think, not think for us. It must be a tool for emancipation, not a new form of dependence
In the 1980s, as a curious teenager, I built my first computer — a Sinclair ZX-80. Then came the Commodore 64, the Amiga 1000, the Apple II, the Macintosh 512… all faithful companions in my early explorations. That’s when my fascination with science began. But it was mathematics that truly shaped the way I see the world — a balance between rigorous logic and the dizzying beauty of doubt.
Today, with dual PhDs in mathematics and artificial intelligence, I design systems that are powerful — but deeply human. Because I remain driven by a strong belief: AI must be open, ethical, privacy-respecting, and contribute to our digital sovereignty. Not a shiny illusion, but a tool in service of the common good.
And because understanding is also a form of freedom, I write and speak. Through books, podcasts, and talks, I strive to make complex topics accessible — without dumbing them down, and without hiding behind jargon. To explain is to share. And to share is to resist.
I’m convinced the future of AI will not be shaped by code alone, but by our collective choices. We must decide whether it becomes a crutch or a compass. A distraction… or a chance to reconnect with what makes us fully human.
