Pushing the frontier of AI, one failure at a time

Portrait of Name

Sofiane Croisier

At 5 years old, I watched the Truman Show and was blown away.

I started to question a lot of things about reality. This curiosity became a quest about understanding our world, and how we can progress as a civilisation. I came to believe that physical AI will move us up the Kardashev scale more than all previous revolutions. I immersed myself in this field to understand it better, and built an automated policy crash-tester for robotics in the process.

I currently lead the strategic initiatives of a €3B European quantum company. Previously, I worked at the Council of the EU and Google, as well as for the CEO of BCG and Emmanuel Macron.

As a serial entrepreneur who sees failure as a form of progress, I previously founded Eloquium (EU debate club), Mêtis[X] (futuristic think-tank), BCG X Factory (tech platform), Voltaire Advisory (advisory for tech CEOs) and led a global R&D team to build a patent-pending quantum AI simulator. I am passionate about interdisciplinary research at the frontier.

I am a former Clarendon Scholar at the University of Oxford and valedictorian at the Faculty of Law of Aix-en-Provence.

Coming from a French-Italian-Polish family, I feel European at the core and love Europe. I am also into music (my parents are both musicians), languages (self-learned Russian and Japanese), skiing (started at 3 years old, kept falling ever since) and competitive dancing (former world champion).
