At the @kul-ai-sschool.bsky.social alumni events, I provided an application and ethical pov on a video AI panel. I also presented my postdoc research on uncertainty in AI-decision-making & the risks of discrimination. I’m so inspired by the AISS community and thankful for the organizers! 👏🏻

A little over a week ago, I had the pleasure of giving talks at NYU and Villanova University on “Responsible AI-From a Fairness and Human Oversight Perspective.” The students’ questions were very thoughtful and it was a blast connecting with dear professors and colleagues!

💡 Earlier this week, I spoke as an AI expert alongside Prof. Jonathan Lazar, Dr. Sanjay Modgil, & Prof. Yulan He on a panel at the Cockney CHAI gathering at KCL before CHI 2025. We discussed the crucial role of HCI in AI research and the ethical challenges with human-AI interactions today.

Loved hearing Abeba Birhane speak at the AI & Society Forum keynote yesterday! One of the most interesting nuggets of knowledge she gave was that scaling up is the newest fad. This is dangerous because as datasets get bigger so do their problems as she’s investigated in her own research! #aifringe

Jack Stilgoe’s professorial inaugural lecture at UCL last night emphasized that we need to deeply think about who is behind the creation of emerging tech and who is benefiting from it. He also stressed the importance of independent science! Loved his showbiz references too. #sts #philtech #ai
