Leigh Felton, President & Chair, AI for Job Security™
Meet Leigh...
Leigh Felton is a truth-teller, systems thinker, and unwavering advocate for equity in the age of emerging technology.
With over two decades of leadership across tech, public service, and ethics-driven innovation, including her groundbreaking work as Head of Enablement for Microsoft’s Office of Responsible AI, Leigh has never been content to watch change happen from the sidelines. She builds it, questions it, and ensures it doesn’t leave people behind. As President and Chair of AI for Job Security™, Leigh leads with the conviction that humanity must remain the anchor of every AI system we design. She stands for those who are often silenced or overlooked, bringing lived experience, governance expertise, and a deep belief that inclusion is not an initiative, but a requirement for the future. She challenges decision-makers to see AI not just as a tool for growth, but as a reflection of values. And she shows up every day to make sure those values are clear, accountable, and shared.
Because if we don’t design the future with intention, we will inherit one shaped by default.
Leigh refuses that default and invites others to help shape something better.
