An international expert on AI, neurotechnology and other emerging technologies through the lens of human rights, I bring both a background in law and philosophy to addressing the key ethical questions of our time.
As an international lawyer, author and speaker, I have worked on some of the most challenging legal and political issues of our time including human rights and security, combating corruption in the developing world, protecting human rights at borders, the human rights impact of climate change on small island states, privacy, cybersecurity, disinformation, data protection and neurotech. My experience includes both judicial, and oversight roles in the UK and internationally as well as diplomatic and policy experience in Europe and beyond. I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI).
