I am the Founder and Principal Researcher at the Montreal AI Ethics Institute and a Machine Learning Engineer at Microsoft where I serves on the CSE Responsible AI Board. I am representing Canada for the International Visitor Leaders Program (IVLP) administered by the US State Department as an expert on the future of work.

I additionally serve on the AI Advisory Board for Dawson College and am an Associate Member of the LF AI Foundation at the Linux Foundation. I am also a Global Shaper with the World Economic Forum and a member of the Banff Forum. I am a Faculty Associate at the Frankfurt Big Data Lab at the Goethe University, an AI Ethics Mentor for Acorn Aspirations and an AI Ethics Expert at Ethical Intelligence Co. I am the Responsible AI Lead for the Data Advisory Council at the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. I am a guest lecturer at the McGill University School of Continuing Studies for the Data Science in Business Decisions course on the special topic of AI Ethics. I am a Subject Matter Expert in AI Ethics for the Certified Ethical Emerging Technologies group at CertNexus. I am also a course creator and instructor for the Coursera Certified Ethical Emerging Technologist courses. I'm the Founding Editorial Board Member at the Springer Nature AI and Ethics Journal.

My research focuses on applied technical and policy methods to address ethical, safety and inclusivity concerns in using AI in different domains. I have built the largest community driven, public consultation group on AI Ethics in the world that has made significant contributions to the Montreal Declaration for Responsible AI, the G7 AI Summit, AHRC and WEF Responsible Innovation framework, PIPEDA amendments for AI impacts, Scotland’s national AI strategy and the European Commission Trustworthy AI Guidelines. My work on public competence building in AI Ethics has been recognized by governments from North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. More information on my work can be found on my website.

I am currently writing a book titled Actionable AI Ethics that will help achieve the goal of moving from principles to practice when it comes to developing and deploying AI systems.

Your support will go a long way in keeping my forthcoming tutorials on using AI ethics tools in practice.
