Philosophy & AI

Web applications that use artificial intelligence to explore philosophical ideas and deepen learning. All of them share the same conviction: AI should stimulate thinking, not replace it.

Philoscopia

Orient yourself in thinking.

Philoscopia home page: orient yourself in thinking, chart your own path

A largely visual philosophical encyclopedia, and a complete system to discover and enrich your own philosophical worldview. Philosophers, movements and fictional characters are positioned on a framework of the great philosophical questions, with every position justified and referenced.

Explore interactive atlases and influence graphs, answer the questions yourself, see which thinkers you stand closest to, and put your ideas to the test through guided journeys. AI is always optional: Philos, the companion agent, is there to make you think, never to think for you. Your profile stays on your device, and the underlying framework is published as open source.

Philoscopia is developed in collaboration with MF Web. I contribute to the project as designer, developer and publishing director.

The Laboratory of Artificial Mind

Mapping the space of philosophical possibles.

An ambitious project to explore, with AI, the space of possibilities opened by thought experiments. A thought experiment holds everything fixed and moves one parameter to see whether our judgment moves. The Lab maps these variations and puts humans and AI models through the same apparatus.

More soon.

Experimental game · 2024

PhiloCraft

An AI-powered crafting game to explore philosophical concepts.

PhiloCraft canvas with basic concepts combined into new ones

Inspired by Infinite Craft: drag one concept onto another and the AI forges a new one. Starting from a few dozen basic concepts drawn from eight fields of philosophy, discover hundreds of ideas, each with its meaning, a striking example, why it is worth thinking about, and a confrontation between two great philosophers. Be the first to craft a concept nobody has found yet.

A small, early experiment, available in English and French.

PhiloLux

Sors de la caverne. Brille au bac de philo !

PhiloLux website home page

A mobile-first app that helps French high-school students prepare the philosophy exam of the baccalauréat: progressive three-level courses on every notion of the curriculum, interactive corrected essays, quizzes, an AI companion designed to help you philosophize rather than think for you, debates between philosophers on real exam subjects, and AI-assessed writing exercises.

PhiloLux is developed and distributed by MF Web. I contribute to the project as technical and editorial advisor and write most of its editorial content, on a volunteer basis.
