My work focuses on data & machine ethics. I am the Inaugural Jeff Price Chair in Digital Law at King's College London. I am also the Director of the Centre for Data Futures and a visiting professor at the Centre for Language AI research at Tohoku University (Japan).
The Centre for Data Futures is dedicated to the study and design of participatory infrastructure over the whole AI lifecycle.
This starts at the point of data generation
(bottom-up data empowerment, inc. data trusts), all the way to deployment: can we design human-computer interfaces that incentivise long-term, critical engagement on the part of groups, not just individuals?
My work has always been animated by a commitment to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This has led me to launch or be involved in a variety of ethics and public policy initiatives.
I am currently working on agency-enhancing uncertainty communication features for LLMs deployed in morally loaded contexts. I am also considering the social sustainability of the data ecosystem that makes generative AI possible.
