In Silico Veritas book cover — How to lead wisely with AI as a CEO, a citizen and a parent, by Bernard Lebelle, foreword by Jean-Christophe Barland

Foreword by Jean-Christophe Barland

“You can choose to augment your company & staff with AI. Replacement is not the only choice a leader can make.”

Bernard Lebelle · In Silico Veritas

From the Foreword
Not naïve about the technology, and still deeply optimistic about people. That combination produces a kind of wisdom that is extremely rare today.
Jean-Christophe BarlandFormer President, Bristol Myers Squibb France & Japan
One technology, three responsibilities

You don't face AI in one role. You face it in three.

The Leader

Your company

Move past transformation theater. Augment your people instead of replacing them, and turn AI into a genuine source of strategic value — not a fate like Kodak's.

The Citizen

Your society

The choices made in boardrooms ripple into the common good. Lead in a way that builds trust rather than spends it.

The Parent

The generation you're raising

The decisions you make now become the world your children inherit. Build the legacy you want them to receive.

The three-lens diagnostic

Which lens is your blind spot?

Six questions, ninety seconds. No login. You'll see how your AI leadership reads across the three lenses of the book — Leader, Citizen, Parent — and which one you're under-weighting right now.

Why this book

A capability to acquire, not a threat to brace against.

In Silico Veritas takes the opposite stance to the AI doomsday narrative, offering a deliberate counterweight grounded in scientific rigor, business pragmatism and strategic thinking. It treats AI not as a threat to brace against, but as a capability to acquire.

Written for leaders looking to create long-lasting value and forge the legacy they will leave behind, it asks the question that matters:

What will you build with AI while the choices are still yours to make?
