We investigate these changes through studies, original research and tools you can explore. We explain what we find and give you access to the work behind it.

From assistance to agency: what happens when AI begins to perform the work of engineering?
The original study asked what would happen when artificial intelligence joined the engineering team. Two years later, AI systems are beginning to do more than propose: they can act, test, revise and sometimes discover. Not everywhere. Not reliably. Not without people.

How much intelligence does a decision deserve?
Our research asks when additional prediction, reasoning or computation improves a decision enough to justify its cost. The book brings together the argument, experiments, papers and a working research notebook.

When should a company learn a lesson once and share it?
Every team adopting AI draws on the same scarce specialist time, compute and budget. The research works out when sharing pays, checks its models in Lean and says plainly what is still untested in a real company. It comes as research, a business article and a management book.

05 · Essays
An evolving collection on intelligence and the human experience.
Essays, stories and questions by Christophe Pennetier: the newsletter I think therefore AI, the book Silicon Soulmate and new Aquia essays. Read them by theme, on a map of ideas or in time, starting from three questions about making AI useful, finding new ideas and keeping control.

The studio
Aquia brings together Christophe Pennetier and André-Benoît De Jaegere. We investigate how AI changes research, engineering and decision-making, and make the resulting work available through studies, explanations and tools.
We are interested in collaborations that give this work a useful setting: a new study, an event, or material adapted for an institution and its audience.
