Essays and Research

Artificial intelligence fascinates as much as it unsettles. But above all, without consciousness and without otherness, it imitates and amplifies our own flaws.

This essay dismantles the myth of an all-powerful, calculation-born AI and presents another path: a governed intelligence, capable of saying no, of proving its reasoning, and of leaving traceable foundations.

It cuts through the hype to separate illusion from reality: deepfakes, agents, LLMs (Large Language Models), RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

Written for both the general public and professionals, this book offers clear reference points, concrete examples, and a compass: understanding what AI is, what it actually does, and the approach the author advocates.
