Rémy Potier is a clinical psychologist and Associate Professor (HDR) at Lumière Lyon 2 University, affiliated with the Institute of Psychology and the Center for Research in Psychopathology and Clinical Psychology (CRPPC).
20 years of clinical practice (2005-2026) and over 10,000 hours of direct patient contact give him empirical expertise in psychological vulnerabilities — manipulation, emotional collapse, dependency formation — that he now articulates with research on human-AI interactions.
His published work focuses on digital phenotyping ethics, algorithmic mediation of subjectivity, and the transformation of clinical practice in the digital age. He coordinated the COV-CARE international network (30 researchers, 5 continents) and directed projects funded by ANR and the French Rare Diseases Foundation.
In 2015, he was a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University (Digital Health & Sensory Technologies). Since 2025, he has focused his research on AI Safety applications of his expertise.
