about

Hi, I'm Adrianna. I run Future Ethics, an AI lab focused on procurement and multilingual safety standards, based in San Francisco.

Previously, I was AI Red Team Lead at Humane Intelligence, where I led large-scale evaluations including a crowdsourced medical chatbot pilot with 200+ healthcare professionals that surfaced 800+ vulnerabilities, and was project lead on IMDA Singapore's AI safety project across 9 countries and 9 languages.

Before that, I worked in product leadership for government and nonprofits, including the City and County of San Francisco and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. At SF Digital Services I helped ship Covid-19 vaccine search systems to millions of residents.

I've been publishing here since 2003. You might have known me in different iterations: angry young queer, optimistic college student, world traveler, entrepreneur, foodie, athlete. Through every version, building websites and learning new things have been the constant.

In the mornings, nights and evenings: I run, swim, bike, cook, think about food, coffee, tea and the history and politics of all of those things. I take photos on film, make zines, go birding, play saxophone and piano.

Mostly, I am enjoying life in San Francisco with my wife, dog, cat and my ridiculous number of hobbies. I grew up in Singapore and lived there for most of my life. I have also lived in Indonesia, India, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom.
