Bio
Audrey Vermeulen is a second-year doctoral candidate in Philosophy at the Centre Gilles Gaston Granger (CGGG) of Aix-Marseille University. Her research project, “Dynamic Ethics of Artificial Intelligence Based on Collective Intelligence Methods“ is co-supervised by Prof. Pascal Taranto (CGGG) and Prof. Amandine Pascal (LEST), with funding from the Aix-Marseille Institute of Innovation and Creativity (InCIAM). Her interdisciplinary work combines field philosophy, Design Science, collective intelligence, and AI to propose “by design” ethical governance models for AI systems. She conducts field studies within an ethics committee and a startup developing an AI system. Audrey has presented her research at academic conferences, including the AIM Workshop in Nantes and the JUST-AI Colloquium in Brussels in 2024. She is co-organizing the HUMACO conference (2025) and a seminar on AI ethics (2026). With a background in design and interior architecture, she founded ARCANDY (2012), co-created LICA (2017), and the École des Vivants (2021). She facilitates collective intelligence, particularly for interdisciplinary research, and has given numerous lectures and courses on collective intelligence and AI ethics, including a TED talk in 2018 on “Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”
