Sarah Kiden is a Public Interest Technologist and Design Researcher investigating the relationship between technology, design, policy, and society. At the University of Southampton, she is spending time on projects across the Citizen-Centric Artificial Intelligence Systems (CCAIS) project and Responsible AI UK (RAi UK). She is collaborating on research on the design of algorithms and interaction mechanisms with non-expert citizen end users (better referred to as knowledge-holders) to understand and trust future AI systems, and issues around AI ethics, governance, and public participation.
Previously, she was a Marie Curie Research Fellow on a joint EU-funded industrial doctoral programme between Northumbria University Newcastle and Mozilla. Her research focused on how we might design and shape Internet of Things (IoT) ideas into trustworthy and responsible technologies when working with grassroots communities.
