About
Anna Bacciarelli is a technology and human rights researcher and advocate. She is currently Executive Director of REAL ML and Senior AI Researcher at Human Rights Watch. Previously, Anna led AI and human rights programs at Open Society Foundations and Amnesty International.
Anna’s work focuses on documenting the impact of technologies on societies and individuals, and advocating for robust policies, laws and standards, to ensure that AI doesn’t undermine human rights. She scoped and established Amnesty’s AI program in 2016, and since then has worked to advance a global algorithmic accountability movement, in a time of vast technological change.
