Abeba Birhane

Abeba Birhane is a cognitive scientist researching AI accountability. This ranges from systematic examination of the AI ecology and governance structures to execution of algorithmic audits. Central to her research is challenging and dismantling societal and historical inequalities and power asymmetries, holding responsible bodies accountable and paving the way for a future marked by just and equitable AI systems that work for all.



Abeba recently finished her PhD, where she explored the challenges and pitfalls of automating human behaviour through critical examination of existing computational models and audits of large scale datasets. Her thesis is here. She is the founder and principal investigator of the AI Accountability Lab housed at the School of Computer Science and Statistics in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
