Maxine Setiawan, Responsible AI UK Tech Lead – Global Responsible AI, Accenture
Responsible AI doesn’t live within one team or one role, its cuts both across the SDLC and the entire organisation. No matter where people sit in the organisation there is something they can bake into their everyday that will support them to be making the right decisions. This session hands you the practical toolkit to use this approach with quick AI premortems, micro testing protocols, and the exact moves to embed protection at every stage without killing momentum.
Maxine Setiawan is a Responsible AI practitioner at Accenture, where she leads UK technology work on operationalising Responsible AI across delivery teams and client programmes. She helps organisations move from high-level AI principles to practical implementation, embedding guardrails, governance, risk controls, and ethical considerations across the software development lifecycle, from design and development through to deployment and monitoring.
At Accenture, Maxine advises clients at varying levels of AI maturity across sectors including consumer goods, telecommunications, and government. Her work focuses on helping organisations deploy AI systems safely and responsibly, balancing technical feasibility, commercial objectives, regulatory expectations, and the need to mitigate unintended harms.
Her background spans Responsible AI, AI risk, sustainability, spatial analytics, computer vision, urban planning, and data science for social good, underpinned by her studies in the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford. Maxine began her career as a data scientist in engineering, applying data science and emerging technologies to challenges in engineering, climate, and the built environment. This multidisciplinary experience shapes her approach to Responsible AI: translating complex technical and ethical questions into practical frameworks that build trust and deliver positive impact.
