Meg Young

Meg Young applies participatory and action methods to research on technology governance, with a focus on how to make surveillance and AI more accountable to the public. As a senior researcher and project director of the Algorithmic Impact Methods Lab (AIMLab), Meg studies how to support advocacy groups and the public to drive algorithmic accountability and assessment in practice. She has collaborated with activists, advocacy groups, and public agencies on capacity-building for data governance, technology oversight, and public engagement. She also co-founded the Critical Platform Studies Group, a nonprofit that partners with civil rights groups to pursue algorithmic accountability through adversarial design.
