Marginalised individuals have a unique experience of most things and AI is no different. With the rise of LLM's integrated across our everyday, how does this affect the LGBTQ+ community specifically.

Ley Muller sits at the intersection of technology, change enablement, AI governance and advocating for queer voices. 

Join us in conversation where we highlight some of the key challenges and how to mitigate their risks.

  • What to ask AI providers: Have you performed any bias audit or fairness testing? Do you follow any related standard? Like IEEE 7003 Standard for Algorithmic Bias Considerations? Will you follow EN 18283 (the standard that will presume conformity with the EU AI Act's requirement of bias evaluation and mitigation) when it is released?




Dr. Ley Muller is the deputy chair of the board of Queer World, the CEO of Values-driven AI, and an AI researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. She gets very excited by helping organizations anchor their use of AI in their own values. Originally from the US/Australia and now based in Norway, she is an appointed European expert to develop harmonized standards on evaluation of AI bias.
