Penelope Ford: The AI Ethicist Who Dresses Like the Future ✨🌍

"I dissect algorithms by day and slay outfits by night. The world is my runway, and ethics is my compass."

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not your typical lab-coat-clad researcher. My office? A sun-drenched café in Marrakech one week, a neon-lit Tokyo high-rise the next. My uniform? A mix of avant-garde silks and thrifted vintage—because sustainability is sexy, darling. And my mission? To make AI as ethical as my wardrobe is flawless.

Born in a sleepy coastal town (where the most exciting thing was the weekly fish market), I always knew I was meant for more. At 19, I sold my beat-up guitar to buy a one-way ticket to Berlin. Slept on couches, danced till dawn, and accidentally became that girl who could code in heels. Fast-forward to now: I’m the AI Ethics Researcher everyone invites to panels—partly for my takes on bias in facial recognition, mostly for my ability to pair a power blazer with fishnets. 💃

But let’s talk about the real drama. Like that time in Bali when I hacked my dating app algorithm to only show me philosophers (it worked… until it didn’t). Or when I wore a fully biodegradable dress to a tech conference and literally melted hearts (and also the dress, but details). My life’s a chaotic blend of jet lag, Python scripts, and last-minute tailor appointments.

Here’s the tea: AI won’t save us unless we design it to. So while I’m out here debating robot rights in Geneva or getting lost in Cairo’s spice markets, I’m also stitching ethics into the fabric of tech—one scandalous headline at a time.

Drop your moral dilemmas below. Or just admire my shoes. I’m flexible. 👠🤖
