Rosalind Picard (2007)

Rosalind Wright Picard (born May 17, 1962 in Massachusetts ) is an American electrical engineer. She is Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT and the director and founder of the Affective Computing Research Group at MIT Media Lab . She is also co-director of the Things That Think consortium and co-founder of the Affectiva Affectiva company.

Picard became known for what is known as affective computing in computer science . With the publication Affective Computing , she founded the field of research that is now central to the development of artificial emotional intelligence. This publication describes the vital role of human emotions in relationships between different people and deals with the possible effects of emotion recognition by robots and computers.

Professional background

Picard holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a certificate in computer engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology (1984). She received her Masters (1986) and PhD (1991) degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . She has been a member of the MIT Media Laboratory since 1991 . Picard received a full professorship at MIT in 2005.

She works u. a. collaborates with Sherry Turkle and Cynthia Breazeal in the field of social roboting and publishes in the field of digital image processing , pattern recognition and wearable computing . Picard's former students also include Steve Mann , who is now a professor in the field of wearable computing.

Religion and science

Picard grew up atheistically and converted to Christianity as an adult . She believes that science cannot assume that just because something cannot be measured does not exist. Picard believes that there is a likelihood of something that we have not yet discovered and that, for example, the complexity of DNA cannot be explained by a completely random process. For Picard, the complexity of DNA shows signs of divine intervention by a "great engineer". For Picard, her religious beliefs play an important role in her work.

Picard has signed a petition ( A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism ) from the Intelligent Design movement of the Discovery Institute , which casts doubt on the theory of evolution .
