I audit AI systems and build practical governance for responsible deployment.
What I'm looking for
I lead Anna August Advisory, where I help organisations deploy AI responsibly through independent audits, governance frameworks, executive workshops, and compliance training across the UK, EU, and GCC.
I translate regulation into the decisions, processes, documentation, and daily operations teams need to run. My Seven Core Ethical Pillars assess human oversight, technical safety, data privacy, transparency, fairness, social impact, and accountability.
My work supports AI startups and established enterprises entering regulated, high-risk sectors including finance, healthcare, and HR. I prepare organisations for real-world deployment and scrutiny under the EU AI Act, GDPR, UK GDPR, NIS2, NIST, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 27001, and emerging GCC standards.
Previously, I worked in data product, business analysis, systems analysis, research, and technology roles at SoftServe, Demant, Microsoft, University College Dublin, and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. I also write and convene conversations through Chaos by August on AI's impact on people, business, and everyday life.
