Susan Schneider Biography

Schneider is the NASA-Baruch Blumberg Chair at the Library of Congress and the author of Artificial You: AI and the Future of the Mind, in which she explores the societal ramifications of artificial intelligence. She considers the broad picture as a philosopher and cognitive scientist, including whether AI will alter the human mind if we can truly develop AIs that match or surpass human intellect, and what all of this means for the nature of consciousness and the self. As NASA's chair, she connects these concerns to broader astrobiology questions, such as whether civilizations throughout the cosmos will acquire AI and even become postbiological. Her work in AI philosophy has led her to Capitol Hill, where she meets with members of Congress to discuss AI policy issues such as data privacy, algorithmic prejudice, technological unemployment, autonomous weaponry, and other issues. Schneider has been on PBS, BBC, Fox, National Geographic, and The History Channel, as well as keynoted AI ethical conferences at Harvard and Cambridge. She also contributes to the New York Times, Scientific American, and the Financial Times with AI comment pieces. Her work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, Science, Big Think, Nautilus, Discover, and Smithsonian, among others.
