Mission Statement: Sarah Bahrani

I am an anthropologist working at the intersection of culture, technology, and AI inclusion. Through my work at Mila, Olympes de la Parole Canada, and Women in AI, I support initiatives that amplify Indigenous, women, and other underrepresented voices in STEM and artificial intelligence. As an Aula Fellow, I bring my background in cultural analysis, research, community engagement, and inclusive communication to help ensure that conversations about AI in society are democratic, accessible, and grounded in lived experience. My goal is to build bridges between knowledge systems so that AI evolves with empathy, ethics, and shared responsibility at its core.
