My approach

Combining a background in building production-grade machine learning systems with applied experience in Responsible AI program development and implementation, I work with your organization and relevant stakeholders to design, develop, and deploy a Responsible AI program that helps you (1) achieve your purpose, (2) live your values, and (3) deliver your goals all while innovating responsibly.

I draw from the latest advances in technical and social science research, marrying that with organizational change and cultural transformation to help you move from principles to practice.

Success comes from a collaborative approach.

Whether working with C-suite leaders or practitioners on the ground, I believe that the best lessons come from those living these challenges daily, and working with them to co-develop solutions is the difference maker.

The Montreal AI Ethics Institute is at the heart of my research, whose mission is to democratize AI ethics literacy. Equipping and empowering all stakeholders toward meaningful participation in the design, development, and deployment of AI systems.

  • "When we submitted the first draft on the Montreal Declaration for the Responsible Development of AI to online public consultation, Abhishek organized seven meetings in no time to review each of the seven proposed principles, and stirred the interest of the Montreal AI community around the MDRAI. He and his team at the Montreal AI Ethics Institute then prepared a substantive report on the MDRAI and have no doubt contributed to its success.

  • Abhishek’s dedication to responsible AI is truly remarkable. I have had the pleasure inviting Abhishek to come in and speak in both public and staff-facing sessions on the topic of ethical and responsible AI. Each time I learn something new. Responsible AI is filled with many layers of complexity; Abhishek has a strong skillset in presenting the importance of responsible and ethical AI while making it accessible to the general audience. Furthermore, in addition to his engaging speaking engagements, I eagerly anticipate the articles Abhishek regularly publishes online. These articles serve as valuable resources, providing further information to enhance our understanding of the subject matter. They are filled with practical and useful insights.
