🌟 Welcome to the RAI Institute Team Spotlight Series 🌟 At the Responsible AI Institute, our team is the driving force behind our mission of advancing responsible AI adoption. Each week, we'll introduce you to one of the dedicated professionals working to shape the future of AI for the better. 🔎 Get to know Hadassah Drukarch, our Director of Policy & Delivery. 1️⃣ What is your role at the Responsible AI Institute? "I’m the Director of Policy and Delivery at RAI Institute. In this capacity, I collaborate with stakeholders across the AI ecosystem to develop and scale the delivery of our assessments, certification programs, governance tools and templates to organizations seeking to build their responsible AI muscle." 2️⃣ What ignites your passion for responsible AI and the work we do here? "At the core of my work lies my passion for simplifying the complex AI regulatory landscape and creating actionable roadmaps to empower people and businesses through trust. No two responsible AI journeys are the same; it all starts by asking ‘why' to identify relevant problems, and then proactively and iteratively building responsible AI practices from there." 3️⃣ Outside of work, what's a hobby or interest that might surprise people? "I'm crazy about cooking and baking. To me, food tells the story of generations whose memories live on through the flavors, recipes, and traditions passed down over time. After I got married last summer, I've been particularly excited about recreating my husband's favorite family recipes rooted in Iraqi-Kurdish and Persian cuisines."
