Susan Schneider Biography
Susan Schneider is the founding director of the Center for the Future Mind at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Boca Raton, FL. She is the William F. Dietrich Distinguished Professor of the Philosophy of Mind at Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute, and the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, FAU. She is co-director of the MPCR Lab (Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Lab).
Schneider is the author of "Artificial You: AI and the Future of the Mind," where she discusses the social implications of AI. As a philosopher and cognitive scientist, she looks at the big picture: whether AI will reshape the human mind, whether we can really create AIs that rival or surpass human intelligence, and what all this tells us about the nature of consciousness and the self.
She now works with Congress on AI policy. She is delighted to be the founding director of the Center for the Future Mind and co-director of the MPCR Lab at FAU's new Gruber Sandbox, a large facility which builds AI systems drawing from neuroscience research and philosophical developments. She also appears frequently on television shows on stations such as PBS and The History Channel (see below for clips). She writes opinion pieces for the New York Times, Scientific American and The Financial Times. Her work has been widely discussed in the media (see "media" above). She is currently working on a book on the shape of intelligent systems (for W.W. Norton).
Schneider writes about the nature of the self and mind, especially from the vantage point of issues in philosophy, AI, cognitive science and astrobiology.
Before opening the Center for the Future Mind she held the NASA Chair with NASA and the Distinguished Scholar Chair at the Library of Congress. Schneider recently completed a three-year project with NASA on the future of intelligence.
