Biography

Professor Bernard 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 in Bordeaux.

He is Senior Research Scientist at , a CNRS laboratory (UMR-5218) located at Bordeaux University. He is known for his work in cognitive psychophysiology led during the first part of his carrier as Medicine professor at the University of Bordeaux II and, since the beginning of his tenure as Director of ENSC, for his work on explainable AI and on Human enhancement. Bernard Claverie is senior member of the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine MSHA.

Ideas and theoretical positions

Bernard Claveie defends a “human approach” to cognitive technologies. In particular, it replaces Artificial Intelligence in an evolutionary perspective as an extracorporeal extension of human cognition, of which it is only an enhancement tool or a simple instrument of power augmentation. He opposes the idea of ​​possible future autonomy for machines. His work in intracerebral psychophysiology convinced him of the inconsistency of the idea of ​​a simple connection between technology and thought, without the biological interface in the brain. Inspired by 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 modulated by a continuum of positions (neoludism, regulation, “laissez-faire”, liberal report) whose defense of each borders on dogmatism and leads to actual incompréhensions and conflicts. Inspired by his academic training, both refered to (French-speaking) structuralism and cybernetic, he defends a scientific and reasonable constructivism for the future of humanity. Bernard Claverie has supervised some twenty doctoral theses in psychology, in cognitive science, or in neuroscience engineering.
