Pour Demain
Today for Tomorrow
Shaping a Flourishing and Resilient Future
Pour Demain is an independent think tank working towards a flourishing and resilient society. We believe that today's most pressing challenges require evidence-based solutions. We build bridges between science and decision-makers for actionable policies.
Priorities
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Safe AI to foster innovation
AI advancements offer extraordinary opportunities for scientific breakthroughs and innovation.
However, this powerful technology brings significant risks: critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, enhanced cyberattack capabilities, and sophisticated misinformation that potentially undermines democratic processes.
We champion smart AI oversight with clear standards that protect society while enabling innovation. Like the pharmaceutical industry's proven model, robust safety frameworks don't impede progress - they accelerate responsible advancement by building necessary trust and stability.
Biosecurity: Fighting natural and engineered pathogens
The convergence of synthetic biology and AI is revolutionizing medicine while introducing unprecedented security challenges. These technologies can create novel DNA sequences with potentially harmful functions, lowering barriers to engineered pathogens.
Natural pandemic threats also remain ever-present. We advocate for comprehensive biosecurity measures—from advanced disease surveillance to DNA synthesis screening—that address both engineered and natural biological risks.
Research consistently shows that safety and innovation reinforce each other: regions with strong biosafety regulations typically lead global biotechnology development.
