European Commission AI HLEG
Member & Ethics Guidelines Co-Rapporteur
Co-led drafting on the implementation of trustworthy AI, with contributions across the expert group’s four published outputs.
Contribution & publicationsPolicy & public service
Make AI useful.
Make it worth trusting.
My policy work starts from the same place as my product work: people should have a meaningful say in the systems that affect them.
Principles need a path
into practice.
I have worked with governments and international groups on trustworthy AI, commercialization, digital public services and regulation.
The focus is practical: connect values to design choices, clarify responsibility, and give organizations a way to assess what they are deploying.
