Angela Ng
Ethical AI Governance Fellow 2026
Angela Ng is a systems builder and convergence catalyst who finds breakthrough solutions at the collision points between disciplines, geographies, and communities that rarely sit in the same room together. Her career spans a decade of work at the intersection of technology and human systems. She has engineered water filtration systems in Bangladesh, conducted public health field research in the DRC and India, created experiential learning sustainability and DEIB programs in the Middle East, and taught coding and robotics to students in Zimbabwe and refugees around the world.
Each role asked the same question in a different context: Who benefits, and who gets left behind?
This year, Angela has been building the infrastructure for a different approach. She developed AI for Good research frameworks, guides, and hackathons and meetups in New York City that have brought together over 400 engineers, founders, funders, nonprofits, and social entrepreneurs to solve the world's most pressing problems with sustainability, safety, and governance in mind.
About the project
"I plan to develop a practical translation framework examining where and why AI ethics standards fail when they cross into Global Majority civil society contexts, and what governance infrastructure those organisations actually need to advocate for themselves in the rooms where these decisions get made."
