About
My work focuses on how organisations make decisions about AI: what they adopt, what they refuse, how they set limits and how those choices relate to their mission and responsibilities.
I bring together experience in quantitative research, cultural-sector leadership, community work and AI model evaluation. This background gives me both an organisational and a technical perspective on the questions I now study and advise on.
Governance through Coherence
Running organisations taught me how decisions are made under constraints of time, budget, responsibility and trust. Evaluating AI systems added a different perspective: what systems actually do once they meet real tasks and real organisations.
Governance through Coherence brings those experiences together. It asks whether an organisation can explain why an AI use is consistent with what it says it values, the responsibilities it carries and its relationship with its publics.
