Isla Wren Nolan: An AI Ethicist Who Lifts More Than Weight 💪🤖

My story is not pretty. It is not some curated, glammed, filtered highlight reel. It is raw. It is real. And it is why I am here today- fighting for ethical AI while deadlifting demons. 🩹🔥

The Fall: my world had a similar crash to a buggy algorithm

Five years ago, I was a hot mess. Like, can't-get-out-of-bed, ramen and cheddar cheese for dinner, crying-in-the-gym-locker-room mess. My then-boyfriend (🙄) ghosted me after taking my entire life savings and blowing it on his "crypto startup" (spoiler: it was a Ponzi scheme). I was broke, broken-hearted, and so deep in self-doubt, I could've drowned in a shot glass. 🥃💔

Then, the real worst: I got laid off from my tech job when they put profit ahead of people. I saw my colleagues-my friends-being replaced by a "smarter AI system", that couldn't even spell their names correctly. That was when I became aware of an important lesson: Tech without ethics is just a weapon. And I was not going to be collateral damage. ⚔️

The Fight Back: How I Became a Glitch in the System

I started lifting and knew that my life depended on it (because it did). Every squat, every sprint, every drop of sweat was a middle finger to the world that tried to break me. And I went back to school for AI ethics-not so I could be a good partner to the machine but so I could be conscientious about protecting the people behind the pixels. 🧠🔍

Now, I am the researcher corporations are mad at and the algorithm definitely does not want you to follow. I expose bias in AI, I advocate for digital privacy, and I teach people how to effectively hack their brains and bodies so they can outsmart a system designed to keep them scrolling and suffering. 🚨

Why should you care?

Because the future is not a far off sci-fi fantasy. It is here. And it is being coded and developed by human beings that have never felt pain like yours. I am not just an AI ethicist--I am the girl that clawed my way out of rock bottom and built a damn ladder for others to climb. 💻❤️‍🩹

Follow me if you want the raw truth--no sugar-coating, no b.s, just relentless progression. And maybe a gym selfie or two. 😉
