UN Advisor on Artificial Intelligence & CEO of AI for the People
Mutale Nkonde Biography
Mutale Nkonde is currently pursuing a PhD at Cambridge University, where she is conducting research on how the policies that govern design of large language models impact Black lives.
In March 2020 Nkonde started AI for the People (AFP) a public sector Responsible AI Team that focuses on product policy. It is built around the policy advocacy work Nkonde had been doing in Congress since 2017 when she was a fellow at Data and Society, and later at the Berkman Klein at Harvard.
In 2019, Nkonde's efforts led to her becoming the lead advocate for the introduction of the Algorithmic Accountability Act (AAA), by the Office of the Honorable Yvette D. Clarke (D9-NY). The AAA demands the use of impact assessment to ensure machine learning technologies comply with existing nondiscrimination laws before their market release. This idea has been integrated into every comprehensive privacy proposal developed by the US House Energy and Commerce Committee since the introduction of the AAA and is central to all rights respecting AI policy frameworks.
In 2023, Nkonde took part in one of Senator Schumer's AI Insight Panels and spoke on panels at the Congress Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference (CBC). Then, in 2024, she became one of civil society’s leaders, helping the Congressional Black Caucus develop their AI Policy platform, and is excited to appear at the CBC stage once again.
Nkonde has a BSc. (Hons) in Sociology from Leeds Metropolitan University, a Masters Degree in American Studies from Columbia University, and has held fellowships at Notre Dame and Stanford. She is currently a visiting policy fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute.
