Profile
 

Dr. Jérôme Duberry is Managing Director of the Tech Hub, Co-Director Ad-Interim, Executive Education, and Senior Researcher at the Albert Hirschman Center on Democracy (AHCD). 

His research explores the societal and geopolitical implications of artificial intelligence (AI). Since 2022, Jérôme has been co-leading a scientific communication project on AI literacy for youth, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). In his book Artificial Intelligence and Democracy, Jérôme explores the mediation of AI in the citizen-government relation and calls for innovative and human-centered AI governance. 

As a visiting professor, Jérôme teaches courses on digital technologies and futures in the MINT program, including "Technologies reshaping the conduct and future of international relations", "Cybersecurity and Virtual Insecurity", "Digital Diplomacy and Power Relations in Cyberspace", and "Futures and strategic foresight: methods and practice" .

Jérôme holds two Master's degrees in International Relations (IHEID) and Diplomacy (Diplomatic School of Madrid, Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and a PhD in International Relations (Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona). As part of his interest in innovative forms of participation and collective intelligence, he has been trained in foresight and design thinking facilitation.
