What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in management, cybersecurity, and AI consulting.

Charles Bivens (ThM) is an AI ethics and privacy consultant helping individuals and organizations adopt AI responsibly. Drawing on a Master of Theology from the University of Wales, published work in AGI Ethics News, and a background in trauma-informed care, cross-cultural ministry, and human-centered education, Charles brings a depth of human and clinical sensitivity that most AI consultants don't have. He is the founder of The Being Human Project, a framework for navigating identity, meaning, and human dignity in the age of AI, and an invited speaker at AI Nation 2027. He works at the intersection of AI ethics, privacy compliance, and what it actually means to be human.
