Will AI help cure diseases, or put our health at risk? Is it a revolution, or just another overpromise?
In this illustrated book, artist Chaz Hutton and expert Hugues Berry cut through the myths to explain what AI in healthcare really is, what it can (and cannot) do, and why it matters for all of us.
Clear, concise, and accessible, this book shows how AI could transform medicine, while also highlighting the challenges we must overcome to use it wisely.
Hugues Berry is the head of Inserm’s new AI & Digital Health division, a position which he has held since early 2025. His background is rooted in computational modeling and artificial intelligence, with a strong focus on cell biology and neuroscience. He began his career as a lecturer in cell biology before joining Inria (France’s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology), where he worked on biologically inspired microprocessors before specializing in computational neuroscience. Before joining Inserm, he served as Deputy Scientific Director for Digital Biology and Digital Health at Inria. At Inserm, Hugues Berry is responsible for three main areas of work:
Hugues Berry emphasizes the importance of clearly defining the scientific question before gathering large datasets and highlights the critical role of technical support units in successfully integrating AI into research.
Chaz Hutton is an Australian illustrator and cartoonist known for his funny and insightful illustrations. His cartoons about everyday life gained a large following on Instagram, which in turn led to the publication of books in multiple countries. He has also regularly collaborated with a variety of brands such as Disney, Uber & Uber Eats, and Zopa, in addition to providing illustrations for various books, films and magazines, including The New Yorker.

In today’s climate of mistrust toward science, some scientific advances remain poorly understood and often controversial, even though they stand at the heart of contemporary biomedical research.
To address this, Fondation Ipsen, Fondation Inserm, and artist Chaz Hutton are launching an original, eye-catching, and engaging collection of books. The aim of this collection is to give everyone the tools to better understand today’s scientific challenges, particularly in the field of rare diseases, where misinformation can have direct human consequences.
The books in the collection “Unplugged. Disconnect the noise. Reconnect with Science” are designed to:
Challenge misconceptions and fight scientific misinformation.
Explain major health advances, including those that are controversial or anxiety-inducing, clearly, simply, and without bias, using validated facts and expert insight.
Spark curiosity and strengthen understanding among general public, young people, and families.
