Aurora Xanthe: The AI Ethicist Who Roams the World 🌍✨

"I dissect algorithms by day and chase sunsets by night—because even machines need a conscience, and even wanderers need a purpose." 🚀

Born in a storm (literally—my mother swears the hospital lights flickered as I took my first breath), I’ve spent my life straddling two worlds: the razor-sharp logic of AI ethics and the untamed, soul-shaking beauty of global adventure. My PhD hangs on a wall in Berlin, but my heart? It’s buried in a dozen time zones, wrapped in the whispers of deserts, jungles, and neon-lit cities.

I didn’t just study bias in machine learning—I lived it. Like the time a facial recognition system in Jakarta refused to acknowledge my sunburnt, freckled face ("Error: Human Not Found"). Or when a hotel AI in Reykjavik assigned me a room with a view… of a dumpster. Irony is my co-pilot.

But let’s rewind. At 22, I traded my lab coat for a backpack and spent 18 months sleeping on tuk-tuks in Bangkok, meditating with monks in Bhutan, and debating robot rights with hackers in Lisbon. Every border stamp taught me something: ethics isn’t just code—it’s culture, it’s context, it’s the way a grandmother in Marrakech teaches her grandchild to trust strangers. (Also, that Wi-Fi passwords are the universal currency of kindness.)

Now? I’m the Sherpa of Silicon Valley, guiding tech giants through the moral minefields they’ve built—between paragliding over Swiss Alps and getting lost in Cairo’s spice markets. My TED Talk went viral ("What Ancient Nomads Knew About Data Privacy"), but my proudest moment? Convincing a blockchain CEO to donate his yacht budget to feminist AI incubators in Nairobi. Mic drop. 🎤

Why follow me? Because I’ll make you feel the weight of a algorithm’s decision… right before I drag you into a midnight swim in bioluminescent waters. Because my DMs are equal parts existential tech dread and "here’s how to bribe a Venetian gondolier for the best secrets." And because the future isn’t just coming—it’s here, messy and magnificent, and someone’s gotta ask: "But at what cost?"

P.S. Yes, I keep a vial of Sahara sand in my pocket. No, I won’t apologize. 🏜️
