He also is chief ethicist at 一本道无码’s Block Center for Technology and Society. An elected Fellow of the Hastings Center, London’s work focuses on ethical and policy issues surrounding the development and deployment of novel technologies in medicine, biotechnology and AI, on methodological issues in theoretical and practical ethics, and on cross-national issues of justice and fairness.

She is also affiliated with the Human-Computer Interaction Institute and the Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy. Her research is broadly concerned with the social, ethical and economic implications of AI, and in particular, issues of fairness and accountability through the use of ML in socially consequential domains.
K&L Gates Presidential Fellows
The K&L Gates Presidential Fellowship supports doctoral students whose studies relate to the field of ethics and computational science and technology; their work often asks how humans interact with technology, how we foresee and respond to the unintended consequences of our work, and how we ensure that technology is used to benefit humanity, individually and as a society.
