And how can I use what I know to make a real difference in my community at the same time? The Solution I devised a comprehensive research strategy focused on the nuances of Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring foundational principles, ethical considerations, and practical applications. To supplement my learning, I participated in AI-focused panels, symposiums, and conferences spanning multiple continents. In parallel, I harnessed my growing expertise to spearhead tech-driven transformations across three NYC housing shelters, enhancing their capabilities to more effectively serve our community. The Impact My ongoing collaboration with my initial shelter partner resulted in a dramatic 80% decrease in physical storage, 60% faster document retrieval, and a 30% cut in client intake time. Through the introduction of targeted data strategies, we saw a 20% QOQ surge in donor funding. I also led workshops on responsible LLM usage across three shelters, equipping staff with the tools and confidence to engage donors strategically and effectively. Introduction I’ve always prioritized giving back, whether volunteering at local soup kitchens, supporting animal rescues like Galgos del Sol, or working with sustainability-focused organizations like FABSCRAP. But during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic—a time of reflection for so many—I experienced a deeper realization. I wanted to do more for my community and began exploring how my skills could align with its needs. This shift in perspective gained momentum as I connected my drive to make an impact with my growing interest in artificial intelligence. My curiosity about AI started in mid-2018 after reading a Harvard Business Review article on collaborative intelligence. Then, in July 2020, OpenAI’s release of GPT-3 became a turning point. I could no longer ignore the creative and transformative potential of AI across industries. Seeing AI through this lens, I realized the value of stepping back from my usual commitments to focus on deepening my knowledge, expanding my skills, and building connections in the field. This intentional shift also created the opportunity to channel my expertise into meaningful, community-centered impact. Structured Learning in the AI Era Research and Foundations With a prior foundation in developing AI and ML-powered products, I approached my learning with a structured and intentional focus. I built a research syllabus around six core themes, balancing theoretical insights, ethical considerations, and real-world applications. I started with Deeplearning.ai’s AI for Everyone course, which provided an accessible entry point into the technical essentials of AI. From there, I explored foundational works like Alan Turing’s Computing Machinery and Intelligence, grounding myself in the key concepts and history of the field. Next, I turned my attention to the complex dynamics of human-technology interactions. Sherry Turkle’s research was a major influence during this phase, particularly her work on how people form emotional connections with machines. Her insights offered a nuanced view of the evolving relationship between humans and AI. I then dove into critical perspectives on AI, engaging with thought leaders like Meredith Broussard and Kate Crawford. Their work sharpened my understanding of the social and systemic challenges AI presents. To deepen this lens, I completed Ethics and Bias courses from UC Santa Cruz and Lund University, which expanded my understanding of responsible AI development. Finally, joining the All Tech Is Human community gave me access to a wealth of resources and like-minded thinkers committed to ethical technology. This collective effort shaped my approach to AI, reinforcing the importance of balancing innovation with responsibility and empathy. &nbsp; Areas of Research AI and Machine Learning Fundamentals AI for Everyone, Deeplearning.ai The Age of AI by Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, and Daniel Huttenlocher A People’s Guide to AI, Mimi Onuoha and Mother Cyborg Machine Learning Yearning, Andrew Ng “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” Alan Turing “How to Succeed with AI Augmentation”, MIT Sloan Human-AI Interaction The Second Self Sherry Turkle AI Superpowers, Kai-Fu Lee “Authenticity in the age of digital companions” by Sherry Turkle “Artificial Intelligence and Psychoanalysis: A New Alliance” by Sherry Turkle "Emotions in Human and Artificial Intelligence" by Martınez-Miranda and Aldea "In Machines We Trust" MIT Technology Review Ethics and Bias in AI AI, Empathy &amp; Ethics, UC Santa Cruz Artificial Intelligence: Ethics &amp; Societal Challenges, Lund University The Atlas of AI by Kate Crawford “Fairness and Abstraction in Sociotechnical Systems” by Andrew D.

I took every opportunity to attend events like The AI Summit London, The Dubai Future Forum, and the Responsible Tech Summit. Engaging with industry experts, thought leaders, and policymakers gave me invaluable perspectives on AI’s transformative potential across industries.&nbsp; Real-world Impact Through CollaborationFrom the start of this focused period, I partnered with GCN SSC, a local emergency housing shelter where I had previously volunteered. I conducted in-depth interviews with staff, analyzed their workflows, and studied industry benchmarks and best practices. One key observation stood out: the shelter’s heavy reliance on physical documentation, which impacted nearly all aspects of their operations. Our first project tackled this head-on, transitioning their paper-based processes to a cloud-based document management system. This shift not only streamlined their workflows but also significantly reduced their environmental footprint. <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/14fc6a8c7036de5bdb4a6a7256b2f7db6e74e32ed83b01b5e239235af4bdc063/GCNSSC-UJ-1.jpg" data-mid="192502128" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/14fc6a8c7036de5bdb4a6a7256b2f7db6e74e32ed83b01b5e239235af4bdc063/GCNSSC-UJ-1.jpg" /> Next, I introduced the administrative staff to the possibilities of data analytics to drive more informed decisions. Implementing Google Data Studio became a game-changer, allowing them to segment donor data strategically and craft more focused, impactful donation requests. We also built simple formulas and calculations in Sheets to quantify program outcomes, making it easier to include clear, compelling data in their outreach to donors. Building on this momentum, I explored ways for the staff to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to address existing workflow challenges in ethical and responsible ways. I led workshops to guide the team on safe usage and privacy considerations, equipping them with the skills to use LLMs for tasks like drafting newsletters, engaging donors, and creating social media content. Framing LLMs as collaborators rather than replacements for human creativity allowed us to balance efficiency with a personal touch. The impact of these workshops extended beyond GCN SSC, leading to collaborations with two additional NYC shelters in their network. These partnerships underscored the potential of integrating AI to create meaningful, transformative change in nonprofit operations. Result The transformation at GCN SSC was profound. We achieved a 30% reduction in client intake times, an 80% decrease in physical storage needs, and a 60% improvement in document retrieval times. These operational enhancements led to a 20% quarter-over-quarter increase in donor funding, amounting to nearly half a million dollars in additional resources to support the community. The success of our initiatives at GCN SSC inspired further collaborations with two more NYC shelters, spreading the benefits of AI integration and responsible technology use across the community.&nbsp; back to work &nbsp;☞ https://mallorykramer.com/about Sun, 09 Oct 2022 19:46:19 +0000 mallory kramer https://mallorykramer.com/about mallory kramer <img width="2486" height="3315" width_o="2486" height_o="3315" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b9ddb05dbde470c2ee82c8fa5ce9be28c9a23fbcba04648d46da8c6fc66cb711/IMG_9148.JPG" data-mid="155312789" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b9ddb05dbde470c2ee82c8fa5ce9be28c9a23fbcba04648d46da8c6fc66cb711/IMG_9148.JPG" /> About Hi!

I’m an experimental hobbyist and I love learning new methods and mediums to express new ideas and emotions with. Exploring the boundaries and unexpected intersections of different creative disciplines, such as web design and quilting, or architecture and floral design, is particularly energizing for me and forms the foundation of my personal practice. This website (which I coded myself!) is an extension of this. <img width="2688" height="4032" width_o="2688" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/380cf332a8933d1d4caa95ac52fc982db36410d2a8fa6ddca4cfd2717a3ec771/IMG_3134.jpg" data-mid="155322419" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/380cf332a8933d1d4caa95ac52fc982db36410d2a8fa6ddca4cfd2717a3ec771/IMG_3134.jpg" /> <img width="2688" height="4032" width_o="2688" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ad11f5a68b1fb81f74ef2e271eee09e60b99686f719a3b7a71fd628ab756244/quilty2.jpg" data-mid="219142500" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2ad11f5a68b1fb81f74ef2e271eee09e60b99686f719a3b7a71fd628ab756244/quilty2.jpg" /> <img width="2463" height="3695" width_o="2463" height_o="3695" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c6e0d5534b9a628fee7dd210156ccab2cb7950bae4846d027cee69757314f28/IMG_4578.jpg" data-mid="155322423" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c6e0d5534b9a628fee7dd210156ccab2cb7950bae4846d027cee69757314f28/IMG_4578.jpg" /> <img width="1846" height="2769" width_o="1846" height_o="2769" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/606f9539b259276b94ddb3cacf6a1c0e5a25be110281b575def75b5f9eb48b30/IMG_4579.jpg" data-mid="155322424" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/606f9539b259276b94ddb3cacf6a1c0e5a25be110281b575def75b5f9eb48b30/IMG_4579.jpg" /> <img width="2623" height="3934" width_o="2623" height_o="3934" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29b9bd2dbe0da0d7ec873c9f798e43faef9dbfe99bd4de4260f459b7697b26da/IMG_2771.jpg" data-mid="155322417" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29b9bd2dbe0da0d7ec873c9f798e43faef9dbfe99bd4de4260f459b7697b26da/IMG_2771.jpg" /> <img width="2688" height="4032" width_o="2688" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/961e237bb2f7b39effe1950d2278e73db801490717f99b92468927912b221547/IMG_2852.jpg" data-mid="155322418" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/961e237bb2f7b39effe1950d2278e73db801490717f99b92468927912b221547/IMG_2852.jpg" /> <img width="2688" height="4032" width_o="2688" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0f282aa0914108566ec831d5aae2602815981d85e69c57960da5f9510ab83eb/IMG_4973.jpg" data-mid="155322426" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0f282aa0914108566ec831d5aae2602815981d85e69c57960da5f9510ab83eb/IMG_4973.jpg" /> <img width="2390" height="3585" width_o="2390" height_o="3585" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/abc678c0c2350f1f17b1d2d3ff8cc918297602af78feb8a804d06b0313882fa2/IMG_9438-2.jpg" data-mid="155322428" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/abc678c0c2350f1f17b1d2d3ff8cc918297602af78feb8a804d06b0313882fa2/IMG_9438-2.jpg" /> <img width="2688" height="4032" width_o="2688" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/85fd35ccab6ce387c8116f69d84f78afa5dc9065244785e7400691086efdb198/IMG_4769.jpg" data-mid="155322425" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/85fd35ccab6ce387c8116f69d84f78afa5dc9065244785e7400691086efdb198/IMG_4769.jpg" /> <img width="2459" height="3689" width_o="2459" height_o="3689" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60b5ed130eb77459f36e40d79d98c7b00a790c5f79dbc8858820df8b7ae1ec10/IMG_3172.jpg" data-mid="155322420" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60b5ed130eb77459f36e40d79d98c7b00a790c5f79dbc8858820df8b7ae1ec10/IMG_3172.jpg" /> <img width="2688" height="4032" width_o="2688" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/65435103cc44f51e760f732be5d3c405d5549a273dd9304fae5154d4b45056c8/IMG_2051.jpg" data-mid="155322416" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/65435103cc44f51e760f732be5d3c405d5549a273dd9304fae5154d4b45056c8/IMG_2051.jpg" /> <img width="2354" height="3531" width_o="2354" height_o="3531" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7fc53e0133078083d4eb27c5483a543e1108db8d36cf2b99378ac03b44a0b50e/IMG_7420.jpg" data-mid="155322427" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7fc53e0133078083d4eb27c5483a543e1108db8d36cf2b99378ac03b44a0b50e/IMG_7420.jpg" /> Work with me I collaborate with partners spanning early-stage startups to nonprofits and Fortune 500 companies to explore and develop strategic research and innovation initiatives in a freelance and consulting capacity.
