In his 2026 book, The AI Illusion: Why Machines Aren’t Creative, Luc challenges the myths and misconceptions surrounding generative AI. He examines the technical realities behind the capabilities of current AI technologies, contrasting this with the exaggerated claims often made by their promoters. He also provides a comprehensive exploration of the societal implications and environmental costs of generative AI as well as a guide through its evolution – past, present, and future.
Chief scientific officer at Renault Group since 2021, Luc previously held the roles of CTO and SVP Innovation, Strategy and Innovation Center at Samsung Electronics; director of Siri at Apple; chief technologist at Hewlett-Packard; co-founder and CTO, Orb Networks; co-founder of Soliloquy Learning; co-founder and VP R&D of BravoBrava!; and co-founder and director of the Computer Human Interaction Center at SRI International, where he co-authored Siri’s core patents with Adam Cheyer.
