Summary
Abhishek Gupta is an AI ethics researcher and technology leader with 12 years of experience operationalizing responsible AI across industry, government, and academia from Montreal. He currently serves as a Fellow at BCG Henderson Institute focused on Augmented Collective Intelligence and as Director of Responsible AI at BCG/BCG X, translating ethics research into governance, technical workflows, and large-scale program implementation. Founder of the Montreal AI Ethics Institute and the city’s pioneering AI Ethics meetup, he combines public-facing community building with policy and standards work—serving on committees at NIST, Standards Council of Canada, Accessibility Standards Canada, and chairing a standards working group at the Green Software Foundation. His background spans product-facing machine learning roles (Microsoft), startups (aifred health), and academic teaching, giving him rare fluency across research, engineering, and operational execution. Not obvious from titles alone: he routinely bridges technical audits, environmental impact measurement, and national-security implications of AI, producing practical, audit-ready recommendations. He is a prolific communicator and convener who publishes, teaches, and advises to move ethical AI from principles to measurable practice.
