Claudia Roda is Professor of Computer Science, Director of the听,听and the co-founder of the Technology and Cognition Lab and the Working Group on Human Rights and Digital Technology at The American University of Paris.听She holds the听UNESCO Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights听with Prof. Perry, and serves on the Research Advisory Board of the听.

Professor Roda鈥檚 research, which has been widely published and sponsored by several organizations including the European Commission and the Andrew Mellon Foundation, focuses on the impact of digital technology on human behaviour and social structure. Professor Roda has explored theoretical and applied models for attention computing and her current research evolves from her earlier work on the design, implementation, and validation of multi-agent systems supporting cognitive and social processes for learning and collaboration.

After a bachelor degree in Computer Science from the University of Pisa, she obtained a Master and PhD听in Engineering听from the University of London听(Queen Mary and Westfield College), where she also worked at the first EU-sponsored research project on multi-agent systems. She continued her research in this field as a Senior Research Fellow at INSEAD in the Centre for Advanced Learning Technologies. In 1997 she joined the 绿巨人视频 where she teaches courses in programming languages, human-computer interaction, and human rights and digital technology. She was Director of the Division of Arts and Science from 2008 to 2011, Director of the collaboration between The American University of Paris and The New School (NY, USA) from 2010 to 2013, and Dean from 2015 to 2018.
