Bernard Claverie

Bernard Claverie (born October 7, 1955) is a French cognitive scientist. He is full professor at the Polytechnical Institute of Bordeaux.[1] In 2003 he founded the Institut de Cognitique and directed it for six years. In 2009 he founded the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Cognitique ENSC,[2] a French national engineering school and a research center in applied cognitive sciences and cognitive technology.

Early career

Claverie obtained his PhD in human neurosciences in 1983 at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon (France) and received two HDR (Accreditation to supervise researches) in 1987, as Doctor es sciences and as Doctor es letters and human and social sciences at the University of Bordeaux II.

He is a graduate of Psychology with a license in General Psychology (1978), a diploma in advanced studies in Psychological sciences and education (1980) obtained at the University of Bordeaux II. He holds a master's degree in clinical and pathological psychology oriented towards neuropsychology and is the director of a university diploma of medicine specialization in neuropsychological sciences at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Bordeaux. He was appointed university professor by decree on September 1, 1992 (decree of February 1, 1993, p.2050), and he acceded to the academic position of exceptional class on 2011.

Career

He is a Senior Research Scientist[3] at IMS,[4] a CNRS laboratory [5] (UMR-5218) located at Bordeaux University. He is known for his work in cognitive psychophysiology during the first part of his career as Medicine professor at the University of Bordeaux II. During his tenure as Director of ENSC,[6] he became known for his work on explainable AI and on Human enhancement. Claverie[7] is a senior member of the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine MSHA.[8]

He is the author or co-author of more than 100 scientific papers (1980-today), chapters and books. He has been the director of 16 PhD theses and has given more than 40 scientific and public guest lectures and conferences. He became a senior expert for cognitive sciences and interdisciplinary research for the French Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation. He collaborates with industry groups in the aerospace industry. His current research focuses on augmented collaborative work and on the human dimension of AI enhancement in human-machine teaming.

Ideas and theoretical positions

Bernard Claverie advocates a “humanistic approach” to cognitive technologies. In particular, he sets Artificial Intelligence in an evolutionary perspective as an extra-corporal extension of human cognition, that is a mere enhancement instrument. He opposes the idea of possible future autonomy for machines. His work on intra-cerebral psychophysiology has convinced him that the idea of a simple connection between technology and thought, without the brain as a biological interface was inconsistent. Inspired by Nicholas Agar, he recently developed an inventory of ethical positions in augmentation technology, organized into sealed compartments ('individual health', 'progress for humanity', 'sustainable environment', 'post-liberal position for the future'). Each of these categories is then modulated by a continuum of positions, i.e. neo-lludism, regulation, “laissez-faire”, liberal, market-oriented approach, the defense of any of these positions leading to dogmatism, thorough misunderstandings and conflicts with those in favor of another one. Inspired by his own academic background, deeply influenced by (French-origin) structuralism and cybernetics, he promotes a scientific and reasonable constructivism for the future of humanity. Bernard Claverie has supervised some twenty doctoral theses on psychology, cognitive sciences, and neuroscience engineering.
