Laurie Gray
The most successful AI products of the next decade won't be defined by their processing power, but by the trust users place in them.
I architect the strategic and ethical frameworks that allow humans to thrive in an AI-powered world. Operating at the Trust Nexus, I bridge the gap between engineering complexity and human-centric adoption by synthesizing strategic UX design, AI governance, and technical machine learning literacy.
Deep Technical and Regulatory Rigor
While many approach AI as a "black box," my work is grounded in a rigorous foundation. By combining MIT Professional Education in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning with AI Governance & Privacy training via the Luiza Jarovsky Academy, I ensure that innovation is both technically sound and ethically compliant.
I don’t just design interfaces; I design integrated systems that are transparent, contextually-relevant, and purposefully human.
Translating Technical Complexity I leverage my MIT-backed AI and machine learning literacy to ensure engineering possibilities align with human needs. I translate model logic and data constraints into intuitive experience roadmaps that prioritize the user.
Designing for Trust and Integrity By integrating AI Governance and Privacy-by-Design frameworks, I move ethics from a checklist to a core feature. I ensure that safety and transparency are built into the fabric of the user experience.
Mastering Contextual Agency This is my primary area of expertise. I synthesize technical and ethical rigor to arrive at properly contextualized systems that preserve human agency. Through this lens, I build human-system interactions that are ethical, safe, and efficient.
Designing for an Automated World
I am currently working toward my AICP Certification to further integrate compliance and design, creating the safe and ethical systems necessary for our future.
Let’s design a world where humans don’t just use AI; they thrive with it.
I have applied my craft in numerous projects in the following areas:
