Principal Lecturer in AI Ethics, University of Hertfordshire

Dr Catherine Menon is a Principal Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire, with research interests in the ethics and safety of AI and autonomous systems. Her work examines the intersection between ethics, safety and trust in public-facing technologies, particularly where these impact marginalised groups. She has worked in industry across both the nuclear and defence sector and is a member of the BSI AMT/10 and AMT/10/1 Committees on robotics and robot ethics. She also has an interest in the role played by creativity in constructing assurance arguments, and in the ways in which creative thinking can help mitigate ethical and safety hazards.
