          AI — on humanity’s side
        

AI should serve people — not the other way around.
I’ve spent 30 years proving it.

Hands-on AI architect since 1996. With a proven method — Cognitive Orchestration™ — I move leaders and their teams from AI anxiety to AI in production, at scale. Let’s build something that lasts.

Built France’s first large-scale conversational AI in 2012 — a decade before the world caught up.

My why

The technology has never been the point.

What moves me are the people living through this shift — the teams afraid of being replaced, the children growing up in a world reshaped by AI. I’ve spent my life making sure AI amplifies what makes us human instead of erasing it.

That’s why I build, I teach, and I speak — all in service of one goal: to use technology to impact a billion lives for the better.

— Gregory

In my own words

“Good news: AI isn't going to replace you.
Bad news: a person who uses AI will.
One thing is certain — talent will matter even more.”

Work with me · via Freedom.AI

Ready to put AI to work?

Start a collaboration through Freedom.AI — my Applied AI lab & advisory, where my team and I design, prototype and operationalize frontier Generative AI into production-grade systems. We work end-to-end across cloud, on-premise, edge and fully local: advanced LLM orchestration, conversational platforms, tool-using AI, knowledge graphs, grounded reasoning and operational AI workflows. We validate what truly works under real constraints — then turn it into repeatable methods and playbooks.

Ethics & responsibility

Since 2016, a public advocate for ethical, responsible AI — co-initiator of AI4Humanity and co-author of the Holberton-Turing Oath, rooted in the belief that every technological advance must remain centered on humanity.

In 2024 he co-founded Everyone.AI, a nonprofit anticipating the opportunities and risks of AI for children — notably through The Future of Child Development in the AI Era (2024).

Let’s build together!

I partner with a small number of leaders each year — from strategy to production. No hype, no endless POCs.
