In this graphic novel, Ollivier Pourriol (script) and Nathanaël Mikles (illustration) set out to find Intelligence(s), exploring natural, artificial, and human forms. Their story is inspired by the theses of eight PhD candidates, and I was honored to be one of them.

Aimed at a broad audience, this book seeks to raise awareness of the scientific and social challenges posed by artificial intelligence and invites readers to join the debate.

In addition to the book, a twelve-page activity booklet inspired by the story and created by the illustrator is also available.
