"AI governance must be about trust:
trust that AI is used for the common good,
trust that it respects our rights, and
trust that it is accountable"
Margarethe Vestager
former VP of the European Commission
CREATE BETTER AI
Freelance services, aligned with EU tech regulations, addressing the
socio-technical challenges posed by AI
Up your team's AI knowledge with custom AI literacy trainings - aligned with the requirements set out in the AI Act.
One-on-one advice to help you navigate the complex regulatory landscape (AI Act, GPSR, PLD, ISO42001 and global developments) for your specific application.
The deployment of AI is associated with a myriad of risks, both to your organization and for society at large. Risk management helps measure, detect and mitigate harms.
About me
I have an academic background in mathematics and computer science, as well as a professional background as an AI policy advisor, a public speaker and as an AI researcher. With both technical and regulatory expertise, I am well placed to help you tackle the most complex socio-technical and legal AI challenges.
Mathematics, AI and public interest
AI standards expert
I'm a technical expert in JTC21 (CEN/CENELEC), setting the standards for the EU AI Act. Until these standards are published, important questions remain unclear. How will bias be defined? When is an AI discriminatory? How to effectively mitigate risks? I can help you understand what (not) to expect from the forthcoming industry standards, to make sure you don't have to stall your operations, and get to work!
AI policy projects
In my research project for the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, we meet Techie, a responsible data scientist who is asked to create a fair hiring algorithm, which turns out to be highly complex. Who gets to decide what's fair? When are automated decisions fair enough?
Standardization Seminar
In collaboration with Algorithm Audit, I organized a seminar for the Dutch public sector on what (not) to expect from the upcoming AI Act safety standards. What can we do to prevent another child-benifit scandal (kindertoeslagenaffaire) from happening?
(Un)fair AI recruitment
A collaboration with StepStone on the legal challenges of automated recruitment. I provided a presentation on how to choose fairness metrics, and advised the responsible AI team on what (not) to use AI for to stay compliant.
AI Act standards expert
As a civil society delegate through Algorithm Audit, I engage in discussions on fairness, non-discrimination and data quality requirements in AI Act standards. This means I have a unique insight into the future of AI governance requirements in the EU.
