Sarah Wyer helps organisations navigate the complex intersection of artificial intelligence and workplace equity. As a PhD researcher specialising in bias in AI and Large Language Models, she brings both academic rigour and real-world experience to one of the most pressing challenges facing modern workplaces.

With a background as an Academic, Data Architect, and currently a Professional Development Expert at Corndel, Sarah bridges the gap between technical AI implementation and human impact. She educates the next generation of data and AI professionals whilst working directly with organisations to identify and mitigate bias in their AI systems.

Sarah highlights how AI systems can either perpetuate existing inequalities or become powerful tools for positive change. Her approach combines rigorous technical analysis with intersectional thinking, recognising that effective AI governance requires diverse voices and perspectives.

Sarah specialises in AI bias detection and mitigation strategies, with particular expertise in how algorithmic systems affect power, oppression, and discrimination.

Her driving philosophy: technology should lift everyone up, not leave people behind.
