Ann Elizabeth Borda

Dr Ann Borda is an Ethics Fellow in the Public Policy Programme at The Alan Turing Institute, and Associate Professor in the Centre for Health Policy, University of Melbourne.  At the Alan Turing Institute, Ann focuses on public and policy stakeholders engaged at the intersections of digital society, responsible AI and governance, and the socio-technical, sustainable, and human rights implications of AI for individuals and communities.

Prior to joining the Institute, Ann held senior and executive positions in government-funded data-intensive initiatives in Australia and the UK. In the UK, she managed a significant digital collections programme funded under NoF-DIGI (£2m) across the Science Museum London and national museums promoting public understanding of science, society, and medical discovery.  She subsequently managed a major Research Councils co-funded eScience programme of the Joint Information Systems Committee supporting research innovation tools and national digital services for higher education, such as the former Open Source Software Advisory Service in Oxford, National eScience Centre in Edinburgh, and AHRC-funded Arts and Humanities eScience Centre in Kings College London.

In Australia, Ann held a directorial position leading large-scale initiatives such as an $11 million Australian state-funded innovation seed programme involving a partnership of 7 universities, state and national research organisations and the Australian Synchrotron.  She was subsequently CEO of an advanced computing research enterprise supporting universities in high performance computing (HPC), software and compute applications – one of a handful of women in a leadership position in the HPC community at the time.
