About
Laurent Alexandre is a provocative French thought leader and surgeon whose work centers on the geopolitical and societal upheavals driven by artificial intelligence, robotics, and transhumanism. In his widely discussed interview, "The Geopolitics of AI and Robotics" (2017), he delivers a stark warning about Europe’s technological decline, arguing that the continent has fallen dangerously behind in the AI race and that this imbalance will redefine global conflict. Though his most-cited paper holds just 2 citations, Alexandre’s true impact lies in his bestselling books and public influence—his writings have shaped debates on neurotechnology, human enhancement, and the ethics of genetic engineering. A former urologist turned entrepreneur, he co-founded the DNA-testing company iDNA and regularly engages policymakers, making him a unique bridge between medicine, technology, and geopolitics. For students and researchers, Alexandre offers a compelling, if controversial, lens through which to examine how emerging technologies may redraw the map of power and humanity itself.
