Brenda Odero University of KwaZulu-NatalSouth Africa

An emerging interdisciplinary researcher and scholar at the intersection of applied ethics, AI governance, emerging issues and health research policy, with a focus on alignment research in medical AI. My work advances context-sensitive governance models that prioritise safety, fairness, and accountability in the deployment of AI, particularly in healthcare. I draw on perspectives from bioethics, law, and technology to shape ethically grounded, evidence-informed policy making across Africa and globally. With a strong background in research ethics, regulatory compliance, and digital health, I am committed to supporting the development of trustworthy, human-centred AI systems that serve clinical and societal needs.
