Dr Fiona Kerr

Dr Fiona Kerr is an expert in human connectivity and synchronisation, partnering with technology and building adaptive human systems. The founder of the NeuroTech Institute & FOCUS, which consults and researches globally in finding solutions to emerging, complex problems, often at the intersection of neuroscience, emerging technology and ethical practice, Fiona has also become the Director of the new Applied Integrative Research arm of MindChamps Holdings Pty Ltd in Singapore, to head research into how to scale their successful best practice early learning methodology via ensuring the optimal integration of human and technological design and delivery, and increasing complex thinking skills at all ages from infants to CEO’s.

In 2024 Fiona has been made a Fellow of ATSE (Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering) in recognition of “her trailblazing research (which) debunked the assumption that humans exhibit the same level of complex and moral decision-making when interacting with trusted autonomous systems as they would with another human in close proximity. This critical discovery holds implications for defence personnel, doctors, surgeons, analysts, CEO’s and first responders and how they work with technology under various conditions”.

With diverse qualifications in complex systems engineering, cognitive neuroscience, psychology and anthropology, built over nearly forty years working internationally in a range of industries, Fiona offers insights into the unique advantages that both people and technology offer, and shaping a human-centric future that balances human and artificial intelligence.

She is a trusted advisor on the science of human interaction and proximity, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence, serving a range of board and organisational roles internationally. She is also a skilled science communicator, delivering numerous keynotes annually.
