Mayra Russo Botero

PhD in Computer Science from Leibniz Universität Hannover and recipient of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions research fellowship during her doctoral studies. Her thesis focused on developing interventions for documenting biases in machine learning systems using semantic modeling. The goals were to raise awareness about the impact of algorithmic biases and to promote the responsible development of these technologies.

Her research interests center on studying the societal impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies through an interdisciplinary approach, advocating for the use of participatory methods. The aim is to contribute to the design of AI governance strategies that are grounded in the real characteristics and needs of users and affected individuals. Currently, her work focuses on investigating the impact of AI on workers’ well-being and the future of work.
