The AI revolution is here, and Ayşegül Güzel’s work is dedicated to ensuring it unfolds ethically, and responsibly. As an AI Governance and Responsible AI consultant, trainer, speaker, and writer, she guides organizations through the complexities of building trustworthy AI systems – from navigating regulations like the EU AI Act to embedding ethical principles deep within their operations.

Her unconventional journey—spanning social entrepreneurship (Ashoka Youth Fellow), innovation consulting, NGOs, and a later pivot into Data Science—provides a rare, holistic perspective that uniquely equips her for this work. Driven to build systems for joy and connection, she co-founded Zumbara, the world’s largest time bank social network, an experience that taught her firsthand about community dynamics, systemic impact, and the power of shared value. Her work as a thought leader in the sharing and gift economies, including a TED Talk, further honed her ability to envision and communicate alternative, human-centric systems.

This deep understanding of social systems and human interaction naturally led her to explore the profound impact of technology. She embraced a transition into Data Science, gaining the technical acumen to understand AI from the inside out. Now, as a Certified AI Auditor (BABL AI) and through her consultancy ‘AI of your choice,’ she merges this technical knowledge with her extensive experience in social innovation and expert community facilitation—essential for convening diverse stakeholders and co-creating responsible AI solutions.
