A Renaissance philosopher for our times
Holding a PhD in philosophy from Paris-Sorbonne University and a specialised master’s degree in publishing management from ESCP, Karine Safa has built a rare career at the crossroads of research, writing, publishing and the transmission of knowledge.
A research associate at the CNRS, journalist, publisher, author and keynote speaker, she specialises in Renaissance humanism and in the links between creativity, innovation and new technologies.
Turning crises into opportunities to invent
Her central idea is a powerful one: our era bears a deep resemblance to the Renaissance. As in the 15th century, we are living through technological, cultural, geopolitical and anthropological upheavals.
Where many see only chaos or decline, Karine Safa shows that periods of uncertainty can become ages of invention, creativity and collective renewal.
Rethinking humanism in the age of artificial intelligence
In an age of AI, NBIC technologies, transhumanism and technological acceleration, Karine Safa invites companies and institutions to ask an essential question: what kind of progress do we really want?
Her approach is neither technophobic nor technophile. She offers a humanist, balanced and accessible reflection on the limits, promises and responsibilities of innovation.
A speaker who gives progress its meaning back
Karine Safa speaks to executives, innovation communities, HR directors, grandes écoles, institutions and think tanks. Her talks combine historical references, foresight, philosophy, science, culture and strategic thinking. She gives organisations the keys to break down silos, stimulate collective imagination and build a more human vision of the future.
