# Rosalind Picard **Domain:** Affective Computing / Wearable Computing / Human-Centered AI **Doc Type:** Person Node **Rosalind W. Picard** is an MIT professor and founder of the [[Affective Computing]] research group at the [[MIT Media Lab]]. Her research established emotion as a computationally relevant part of intelligence and helped create systems for measuring and responding to affective state. ## Continuity Context [[articles/STEVE|STEVE]] identifies affect as one of the functional primitives missing from any account that equates linguistic prediction with a person. A system that preserves phrases without the structure of feeling preserves an output pattern, not a complete self. ## Routes [[articles/STEVE|STEVE]] · [[articles/The Hawking Continuity|The Hawking Continuity]] · [[wiki/Neural Interfaces and Continuity Architecture|Neural Interfaces and Continuity Architecture]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] ## Official Source - [MIT Media Lab — Rosalind Picard](https://www.media.mit.edu/people/picard/overview/)
