Diya Wynn is a Responsible AI Lead at AWS who started and led customer engagement globally on Responsible AI. In her role, she focuses on helping organizations mitigate risks and uncover potential unintended impacts related to AI’s development, deployment, and use. She has provided responsible AI information for legislators and policymakers to help shape imminent AI regulation and policy. Earlier in her career, she worked in early-stage companies to scale products for acquisition, and in consulting. She is an author and international speaker; serves on non-profit boards; volunteers with multiple organizations; and guest lectures on responsible and inclusive technology.

When she isn’t working hard on the future of AI, she’s working hard to influence the future. This starts at home with her two sons but extends to her dozens of mentees, whom she encourages to color outside the lines, defy the odds, and redefine boundaries. Diya studied Computer Science at Spelman College, the Management of Technology at New York University, and AI & Ethics at MIT Sloan School of Management and Harvard University Professional School.
