   AI doesn’t replace the designer, it reveals them

   Photography didn’t kill painting. The personal computer didn’t kill design — it transformed it, expanded it, and ultimately clarified what a trained designer could do with these tools. Every technical revolution in creative fields follows the same arc: anxiety, redistribution of tasks, then the revelation of what human expertise produces that the machine — itself produced by humans — cannot produce alone.

   We thought we were original creators facing pale copiers. We discover that we too are imitation machines. So what remains of the wall that separated us from AI?

   AI and the Myth of Creativity 3/4: Is Creativity Algorithmic?

   We defend our mind as a sanctuary of originality. What if it were actually a factory? An extraordinarily sophisticated plant whose main business is to imitate, compress, and recreate the world.

   AI and the Myth of Creativity 2/4: Creativity Under the Microscope

   The Lovelace-Turing duel goes in circles because it rests on a mystical vision of creativity. What if, to break the deadlock, we had to commit a sacrilege: put creativity itself on the dissection table?

   AI and the Myth of Creativity 1/4: Ada Lovelace’s Objection

   Can an AI be creative? This question is not new. It was posed at the very birth of computing, by two visionary minds whose intellectual duel still shapes our greatest fears and hopes today.

    Facing AI, the Urgency of Being Human

    When a patient tells me that AI understands her better than those close to her, what is really happening? What if our capacity to project humanity onto otherness were not a cognitive error, but our greatest wisdom? An essay on the urgency to love in the face of radical difference.

    I was invited to speak at the kick-off of the magnificent Luxembourg Design Festival on November 12, 2025, to discuss the genesis of the professional designer’s code of ethics created by the Alliance France Design. A meaningful symbol! During the event, I essentially said that “ethics is good for business.” After three inspiring days of festival and a festive Awards ceremony, I’d like to expand on that idea here.

This event, marking the association’s 30th anniversary, gathered the entire French art and design education ecosystem around the theme “Tomorrow’s Art School: Horizon 2050.”
