Bio
I'm the founding director of the AI Governance Lab at the Center for Democracy & Technology. Building on CDT’s decades of leadership fighting to advance civil rights and civil liberties in the digital age, the Lab provides public interest expertise in rapidly developing policy and technical conversations around artificial intelligence, advancing the interests of individuals whose lives and rights are impacted by AI.
An AI policy expert and responsible AI practitioner, I've led work at the intersection of policy and AI fairness and governance in senior roles in industry and civil society, including as co-chair of the Fairness, Transparency, and Accountability Working Group at the Partnership on AI, conducting foundational research at the intersection of machine learning and civil rights at Upturn, and most recently guiding strategy and implementation of responsible AI practices at Meta. I've co-authored widely cited research on the potential for discrimination in personalized advertising and the role of artificial intelligence in the hiring process, and my work has informed international policy discussions on the civil and human rights implications of artificial intelligence, including citations in the White House Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights. My writing and analysis has appeared in publications including the Harvard Business Review, NPR, Slate, and Newsweek, and her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The Economist, Reuters, Wired, MIT Technology Review, Last Week Tonight, and more.
Proud partner of Micah Hendler, TED 2024 speaker and founder of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus!
