Carol Anderson is a data scientist and responsible AI researcher with nine years of experience applying machine learning to NLP, biological data, and health records, and a prior career as a tenure-track molecular biologist. She has led production ML projects—building obituary and marriage-announcement pipelines at Ancestry and optimizing transformer-based models for NVIDIA’s Riva—while shrinking model size and latency for embedded deployments. Skilled at translating messy, real-world data into reliable features, she has normalized EHRs for cancer outcome prediction and built custom genomics analysis software from next-generation sequencing. Active in the AI ethics community, she co-leads research at the AI Risk and Vulnerability Alliance, holds multiple ethics and audit certifications, and helped deploy tools for public algorithmic audits. Carol also mentors volunteer teams on gender-bias measurement and collaborates with journalists on data-intensive investigations, combining deep domain expertise in biology with practical, production-grade ML and audit experience.
