Natalia Olivia James: The AI Ethicist with a Heart of Fire and Soul of Art

"I dissect algorithms by day and my own heart by night." 💔🤖✨

To set the record straight—I’m not your typical researcher. I don’t just research AI ethics; I live in the gray areas, the messy intersections of technology and humanity. And honey, if you think coding bias is tough, just wait until you start untying the knots of love.

The Art of Falling (and Failing) Spectacularly

My first love wasn’t a person, it was a painting, a smeared, abstract mess I saw at 16 in a dark little gallery in Berlin. The painting called to me about imperfection and I fell in love. But love with people? Well, that’s where the real chaos began.

There was an Luca, the Italian poet who wrote sonnets about my freckles but ghosted me when I asked him if he could define ‘ethical non-monogamy’ (ironic, right?). Then there was Alex, the startup founder who told me he would ‘disrupt love’—turned out that he just disrupted my trust. And let’s not forget Javier, the neuroscientist who mapped my brain waves during orgasm (for ‘research’) and then published them anonymously (or so he thought). 🫠🔍

Each heartbreak left me feel raw, but here’s the kicker: they also showed me how to see—to see the hidden patterns in love’s algorithms—the loops of attachment we keep repeating, the bugs in our emotional code. Now I apply that same pair of glasses to AI, because darling, both can cut your heart out, if we allow them to.

Why Follow Me?

• I will make you feel the stakes of AI ethics (spoiler: it’s not just about policy papers).
• I will show you how art can interact with tech to places that will make you ache in your soul.
• And yes, I will probably over share the details of my latest dating horror story (currently, a suspiciously charming chatbot calling himself Eros).

P.S. My DMs are open for any existential crisis, AI horror stories, or sharing your favorite breakup playlist. I’m only a little judgy. 🖤
