Join The French Philosopher and consider me your philosophy BFF! 🤗 If you’re wondering about the meaning of life, your impact on the world, or who you truly are, you’re in the right place. Picture us chatting over a latte, exploring life’s big questions with wisdom from ancient and modern philosophers. I’m a Brooklyn-based French philosopher, speaker, and author, and as an expert in AI ethics for the European Commission, I also dive into ethics and critical thinking around AI and tech.

Imagine a machine deciding who gets life-saving surgery in a split-second, armed with endless data and razor-sharp logic. No hesitation, no bias, no emotional baggage. Sounds like a dream... or does it? What do you think
Using AI to translate animal communication isn’t just a tech challenge. It’s a philosophical one. AI is making serious moves in decoding animal sounds (listen to this podcast episode from The Economist), but here’s the k
Word on the street is Microsoft’s latest quantum breakthrough (see Nature’s article link below) might finally let us crack open the box and see what’s really going on. But here’s the kicker: quantum computing isn’t just
Freedom sounds simple—do what you want, right? But John Stuart Mill had a different take (he’s a 19th-century philosopher who spent a lot of time thinking about this, so pretty legit). He believed that liberty comes with
Every “trustworthy” AI system quietly betrays at least one sacred principle. Ethical AI forces brutal trade-offs: Prioritizing any one aspect among fairness, accuracy, and transparency compromises the others. It's a mess
How Far Will You Speak Up? Integrity is more than a virtue; it is the foundation of our identity. It represents the alignment of our actions, values, and commitments into a coherent whole, forming the essence of who we a
The Marshmallow Test: Trust Issues Start Young What if I told you some kids fail the Marshmallow Test not because they lack self-control, but because they’ve already figured out adults are about as trustworthy as a racco
Yesterday, DeepSeek just wiped $1tn off the US stock market——should we embrace its groundbreaking AI despite concerns over censorship, data security, and ethical implications? 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼
It’s Blue Monday—the so-called “most depressing day of the year.” So I want to share a philosopher’s perspective on despair. Nietzsche knew a thing or two about enduring hardship. Nietzsche reminds us that even in despai
Elon Musk is channeling serious Machiavelli vibes—warning us about AI doom one minute, backing deregulation the next (as part of Trump's first day moves). Is he a bold visionary rewriting the rules to shape the future, o
Picture this: Dad drops the kids off at school in the morning. Mom picks them up in the evening. On paper, it looks balanced. But is it really fair? To answer this, let’s borrow a thought experiment from philosopher John
Did you that, by the second Friday of January, 80% of people have already thrown in the towel on their New Year’s resolutions. Yep, that’s Quitter’s Day. Sounds familiar? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. The ancient Greeks
🤯 You won’t believe how I pulled this podcast episode off. I fed this new AI tool a simple text document of my last conference, and boom—it turned into a chill, mind-blowing convo between two advanced artificial intelli
In this episode, we take a closer look at how tech impacts the way we see and relate to the world around us. Drawing on the unique insights of Václav Havel—philosopher, playwright, and former president—we’ll explore the
🧬 Are You More Than DNA’s Puppet? Unravel the mystery of what truly shapes us—our DNA, destiny, or something more profound? This week, I challenge the idea of “becoming the best version of ourselves” and question whethe
