About Mara:

Mara is IBM’s first-ever AI Strategist. She defines herself as a data-savvy humanist who sits at the intersection of AI, data journalism, and design. Mara’s method uses human needs as a lens to uncover overlooked opportunities hidden in companies’ data and transform that data into stories that illuminate the vision of a new scenario that aligns AI projects with human values and business intents. ​ As a polymath whose experience spans from the humanities to AI, Mara acts as a translator who bridges these worlds through design, strategy, and data storytelling. 

Mara’s work focuses on humanizing AI, that is, responsibly weaving AI into the dynamics that we, as human beings, live in every day.
