This project, rooted in my doctoral research and dissertation, explores a multi-level and transdisciplinary analysis of how human decision-making evolves alongside emerging technologies (first and foremost AI-related systems) and the psychocognitive normativity that we develop in response. A key focus is on vulnerable groups and the disruptive phenomena affecting them, such as the relationship between children and screens or adolescents and social networks. The goal is to develop multiple initiatives — from a book to public awareness events — aimed at fostering both individual and collective control over ongoing cognitive changes, while carefully considering the benefits and the risks involved.

​Developed during the Cognitive Infrastructures Synthetic Intelligence Design-Development Studio with Philip Moreira Tomei and Gary Zhang, and further pursued within the Antykithera Think Tank, the project explores the human cognition beyond traditional brain-centered models. It focus on its dynamic relationship with the body, environment, and emerging AI-powered technologies. It tries to overcome computationalist and reductionist views, advocating for a relational and processual perspective aligned with the 4E cognition framework (embodied, embedded, enacted, extended) as well as assembly and complexity theory. Furthermore, it applies this theoretical model to examine how human cognition interacts with AI and sensory technologies. It aims to study sensory technologies’ potential for endosomatization, suggesting they might foster unconscious or forgotten cognitive processes, offering a nuanced alternative to the mainstream enhancement narratives.

​​Developed during the Cognitive Infrastructures Synthetic Intelligence Design-Development Studio with Alasdair Milne (Serpentine & King's College London), Michelle Chang (Google software engineer and MIT Media Lab and CMU research affiliate), with the participation of William Morgan (University of California Berkeley) and further pursued within the Antykithera Think Tank, the project explores human techno-biological evolution, examining how technology amplifies morphological capacities. It analyzes the transition from biomimicry, which imitates nature for innovation, to "xenomorphology," a new paradigm proposing forms and behaviors not derived from known biology. Through Assembly Theory, the work suggests that emerging complexity can be designed, surpassing natural evolutionary constraints. Inspired by experiments like those of Karl Sims, it envisions a synthetic Cambrian explosion where AI, biotechnology, and nanotechnology create entities with unprecedented morphologies and behaviors. This paradigm advocates an antifragile design approach, capable of navigating complexity and generating novel evolutionary possibilities.

This seminar aims to create a space for reflection and discussion around the texts of the published works and the unpublished archives available in the CAPHÉS collection. Building on the foundation laid by the study day dedicated to Canguilhem's unpublished works, these meetings will enable a detailed and in-depth analysis of Canguilhem's entire body of work, beyond the principal thesis ("Le Normal et le Pathologique"). The objective is both to introduce and gradually deepen the understanding of Canguilhem's work while forging connections with his other writings and the thoughts with which they engage in dialogue, or, when this is not the case, to gather the resonances his ideas evoke in other thinkers and disciplines, such as biology, psychology, social sciences and computer sciences.
