Meredith Whittaker is the Minderoo Research Professor at NYU and the Co-founder of the AI Now Institute. Her work focuses on the social implications of artificial intelligence and the tech industry responsible for it, with a particular emphasis on power and the political economy driving the commercialization of computational technology. She founded Google’s Open Research Group, and over the last decade she has worked extensively on issues of privacy, security, and network monitoring. As a long-time tech worker, she helped lead labor organizing efforts at Google and in the industry beyond, driven by the belief that worker power and collective action are necessary to ensure meaningful tech accountability. She has advised the White House, the FCC, the City of New York, the European Parliament, and many other governments and civil society organizations on artificial intelligence, internet policy, measurement, privacy and security.
