Digital Ethicist. Tech Anthropologist. Service Designer. Problem solver. Sudoku lover. Facilitator.
I translate complex digital ethics challenges and make them actionable with decision makers. A background in service design, incubating impact businesses and tech anthropology gives me a unique vantage point to apply and operationalise ethics across the digital landscape.
I do this with diverse audiences - be it an Ethics Sprint workshop for 120 technologists or consulting with public sector stakeholders at the UK Government and most recently, business stakeholders from various disciplines at IKEA.
ABOUT ME
I want to live in a world where every human being can access the opportunities they need to develop themselves and those around them.
I believe digital technologies can be a powerful tool to enable an equitable world - IF used with responsibly, sustainably and context appropriately with the intention to benefit everyone.
I was drawn into the professional sphere of ethics in 2017, intrigued by the techno-social consequences of Artificial Intelligence. I worked globally inputting into AI policy movements and digital innovation. I was named on the '100 Brilliant women in AI Ethics" in 2020. Since 2022 I have taken a holistic view of digital technologies, where I advise retail stakeholders on how to incorporate the ethics of data, algorithms and design into business decision making.
Curious to know more? I summarise my views in the talk "Responsible Tech: our path forward" I gave at World Usability Day in Estonia in 2021.
FEATURED WORK
ETHICS SPRINT
A methodology to help technologists and companies embed ethical reflection into the product development process. It is a deep dive into how ethical principles and human rights can be incorporated into the design of automated systems. These workshops fast forward into the future to spot unintended ethical and social consequences and identify strategies to tackle those through the technological development and planning cycle.
FLUXUS LANDSCAPE
This is an open source research project created in partnership with the Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University with support from the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. It was presented at the first meeting of the Global AI Council at WEF (2019).
An interactive, visual database of ~500 AI Ethics and Governance initiatives across the world (2019) spanning Government, corporates, Nonprofits to grassroot movements.
