Mutale Nkonde is a technologist and cultural theorist. In 2022 she was named as a Global Leader in Digital Rights by the Ouano Foundation (to be announced September 12, 2022) for her work with AI for the People, a non-profit she started in 2019. She has been a member of the TikTok Content Moderation Advisory Council since 2020, and a past board member of the National Association of Black Journalists.
In 2019, she was a part of the team that introduced the Algorithmic Accountability Act, first introduced to the US House of Representatives that same year. She subsequently advocated for its passage during her testimony to the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s subcommittee on consumer protection after the bill was reintroduced in 2022.
She is currently a member of the Aspen Institute’s Society of Fellows and has formerly held fellowships at Harvard, Stanford, and Notre Dame. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in American Studies from Columbia University and writes widely on race and tech. Her work can be found in Ms.com, Slate and Harvard Business Review. She is also a co-host of the Tech Tea podcast.
