Impressive career
With an impressive career spanning from lawyer and member of parliament to data scientist and associate professor, Esther brings a unique combination of legal, technical, and strategic expertise to Conclusion. She has specialized in developing solutions that not only meet legal requirements but also take into account the societal impact of AI. In her new role, she aims to focus on promoting AI literacy within organizations, ensuring that all employees gain insight into the responsible use of AI and that a cultural shift is achieved through strategic advice.
Increasing awareness of AI literacy
Esther will contribute to the development of tailored e-learning programs that help organizations comply with Article 4 of the EU AI Act. These programs focus on raising awareness and improving AI literacy and are customized for each organization. In addition to her work for Conclusion AI 360, she remains active in academia as an associate professor at Javeriana University in Colombia, where she teaches AI governance and responsible AI. She also continues her role as an AI expert at UNESCO, where she aims to promote progress in non-discriminatory algorithms and advocates for the participation of underrepresented groups in AI.
"AI offers unprecedented opportunities, but it is crucial that we deploy the technology responsibly", says Esther. "With the EU AI Act already in effect, and Article 4 on AI literacy coming into force on February 2, 2025, it is essential that organizations take action now to train their employees in AI literacy. At Conclusion AI 360, I want to help companies not only be compliant but also realize the cultural change needed to deploy AI ethically and effectively. We must ensure that people understand the impact their behavior has on the technology. This requires engagement and a collective effort within every organization."
Adil Bohoudi, Managing Director at Conclusion AI 360, says: "We are incredibly proud to add Esther to our team. With her unique combination of legal, technical, and ethical expertise, we can further support and inspire our clients in addressing complex AI issues. We help deploy AI in a strategic and responsible manner and implement AI solutions at scale within organizations."
