Sofia Olo

I work on digital governance and AI policy at the United Nations, with a focus on how global technology norms translate into operational systems and programmes. With over 7+ years of experience across the UN system (ODET, UNCDF, UN Women, UN DESA), I have supported multi-stakeholder initiatives at the intersection of AI governance, digital cooperation, and public sector capacity. My work focuses on how AI governance frameworks and emerging technologies are integrated into institutional processes while maintaining legitimacy, accountability, and public trust. I also write independently on AI governance and emerging technology policy, exploring the second-order implications of how global norms are designed and where they break under operational pressure.
