AI Governance & Policy Researcher at Ethical AI Alliance

Poland

About

I love learning by doing, therefore, I hardly ever hesitate before taking an opportunity to get a better understating of the surrounding world. Passionate about politics, international relations, the influence of digital technologies on democracy and non-fiction literature. To feel fulfilled, I need to perform a job which has a positive impact on society. Sometimes, I can't stop questioning and a day without learning a new concept seems to be wasted.

Experience

  • CAIDP Research Group Member at Center for AI and Digital Policy

  • AI Governance & Policy Researcher at Ethical AI Alliance
    Nov 2024 - Present · 1 yr 8 mos

    At the Ethical AI Alliance, I work on the AI Harm Map, which tracks verified cases of AI-related harms across conflict, surveillance, human rights, and the environment. Our research was presented at UNGA80, calling for a global Monitoring & Reporting Mechanism (MRM) on AI harms, with a proposed 2026 pilot to close accountability gaps and put human rights at the centre of AI governance. My role involves researching, verifying, and analysing harm cases, and helping translate findings into policy-relevant outputs that inform governments, international organisations, and civil society.

  • EU Digital Policy Intern at St. The London Story
    Jun 2023 - Sep 2023 · 4 mos

    At The London Story, I conducted in-depth research on the AI Act, DSA, and DMA, delivering briefings that informed strategic actions and advocacy efforts with EU policymakers. I organised and moderated a consultation for UNESCO’s “Guidelines on Internet for Trust”, gathering insights from over 50 experts, which influenced the final guidelines. Additionally, I supported lobbying efforts by preparing email drafts for MEPs, highlighting the implications of India’s data privacy law and advocating for regulatory alignment between the EU and India. This experience deepened my understanding of digital governance and the impact of policy on AI and internet regulation.
