I’m Nate.
I lead applied ethics work on sociotechncial (AI) systems for major corporations, governments and startups.

My approach to applied ethics bridges rigorous philosophical practice with sociotechnical design, complexity thinking and empirically grounded approaches to organisational change, resulting in safer, more reliable, more responsible and more valuable systems; systems that are worthy of our trust.

I am currently leading AI Ethics for Services Australia. In this role I am responsible for conducting research (ecological impacts of AI, behavioural change practices to enhance ethical maturity, integrating different government frameworks into coherent practice), developing a unique impact mapping method, designing applied ethics guidance, leading AI ethics assessments, integrating and embedding ethics into multi-disciplinary teams / projects, developing training materials and ensuring staff and leaders gain hands on experience with diverse approaches to operationalising Australia’s 8 AI ethics principles.

I work on a contractual basis, typically for extended durations of >6 months. Although I’m open to shorter projects, I encourage clients to consider the complexity of meaningfully operationalising AI Ethics, which often leads to the mutual agreement of longer-term commitments.
