Madeleine led the AI ​​Field Initiative at Data & Society, where she and her team investigated the promises and risks of integrating AI technologies into society. Through ethnographic and human-centric research, AI in the field sheds light on the consequences of deploying AI systems beyond the research lab, examining who benefits, who gets hurt, and who is responsible. The initiative's work focused on how organizations cope with the challenges and opportunities of AI, from changing work practices and responsibilities to new ethical practices and forms of AI governance. . As a researcher and anthropologist, Madeleine has worked to reframe debates on the ethical design, use and governance of AI systems. Madeleine studies the opportunities and limitations of equity methods added to causal modeling.
