Operationalizing AI Governance through the Values Canvas
OVERVIEW
In partnership with Olivia Gambelin and Ethical Intelligence, I led the design and development of the Values Canvas, a strategic framework designed to help organizations move from abstract AI ethics principles to practical implementation.
