Leading Global AI Governance: Meet the Woman Behind OECD's AI Principles
August 27, 2026
As deputy head of the OECD's AI and Emerging Technologies, she focuses on building global consensus on AI governance among governments, experts, and industry leaders.
A central thrust in AI policy today is accountability, ensuring AI systems are safe, minimize risks to humanity, and align with shared principles as they grow more capable and autonomous.
She helped oversee the OECD AI Principles, the world's first intergovernmental standards for AI governance, initially adopted in 2019 and updated in 2024.
While the OECD definitions aren’t perfect, they remain the only established governance framework used by 46 governments.
She also runs the OECD.AI Policy Observatory, which catalogs AI initiatives worldwide and maintains a network of AI experts from academia, government, and industry.
