AI Ethicist

Public speaker & advocate for responsible AI development.

HELLO WORLD

I am Di Le, and I am deeply immersed in human-centered AI. I bring my strategic insights to the forefront of responsible AI development at ServiceNow and a spectrum of international organizations.

I'm an AI Ethicist and Human-Centered AI Strategist, working at the intersection of AI governance, UX research, and ethics. My work focuses on human-AI collaboration, safeguard-oriented design, and building trustworthy systems that align innovation with societal values.

My path to AI ethics began in human-machine interaction research, where I developed standards for human-AI collaborative workflows grounded in human-centered and responsible AI practices. These frameworks scaled internationally, shaping the deployment of autonomous systems worldwide. That foundation—making complex technology accountable and human-centered—now drives my approach to AI governance.

I partner with academic institutions on empirical research into human-AI interaction and collaborate with nonprofit organizations like the Data Science Alliance to create standards, frameworks, and white papers that help organizations operationalize responsible AI. I'm a TEDx speaker and present internationally on AI ethics, culture, and design. I serve as a CES Innovation Awards judge, Google WTM Global Ambassador, and remain committed to developing technology that addresses pressing human challenges, while embodying principles of beneficence and care.

Publications

  • Investigating Interaction Friction in Generative AI: Improving User Experience and Decision-Making

    Our paper explores the role of intentional friction in Human-AI interactions, challenging the prevailing notion that frictionless experiences are inherently superior. Grounded in three theoretical frameworks—Media Richness, Situation Awareness, and Split-Attention theories—we investigated how introducing friction impacts user perceptions and decision-making when interacting with a Generative AI Assistant.

  • White Paper: AI Post-ChatGPT: A Progress Report & Future Forecast

    This white paper analyzes the lessons learned and the insights gained that can guide us toward a future where we mitigate the risks while maximizing the opportunities for innovation, equity, and shared understanding.
