Noya Nachmany MSc.
Artificial Intelligence Ethics Architect
If it’s not easy to use, it’s easy to lose.
In March 2024, I completed my research in Artificial Intelligence at the Open University of the Netherlands, where I developed a prototype for an adaptive AI-Traceability tool in line with EU guidelines and regulations. This tool is
designed to help non-technical stakeholders, as well as companies and technical teams, trace the series of steps involved in the AI creation and decision-making process, shedding light on the often opaque nature of AI systems.
Throughout my career, I have embraced diverse roles across various organizations, driven by a deep interest in people, ethics, governance, business, data, security, structures, and processes. My approach emphasizes a focus on
individuals and their talents, along with strategy alignment and risk assessments that prioritize knowledge sharing, coaching, and empowerment.
In 2019, I transitioned from movement therapy to information technology, where I discovered a passion for process analysis, improvement, and redesign. I thrive on research, innovation, and delegation, coordinating projects that
bridge business needs and digital development while ensuring ethical considerations are at the forefront, particularly in change and stakeholder management.

Work Experience
Researcher & Designer in Artificial Intelligence Ethics
The Betá Faculty of Science, Open University, The Netherlands
2024Project: Artificial Intelligence Ethics
In March 2024, I completed my research in Artificial Intelligence, during which I developed a prototype for an adaptive AI-Traceability tool aligned with EU guidelines and regulations. This tool is designed to assist non-technical
stakeholders, as well as companies and technical teams, in tracing the steps involved in AI creation and decision-making, thereby clarifying the often opaque nature of AI systems.
My research was driven by the topic of "The Governance of Artificial Intelligence," specifically exploring how organizations can deploy intelligent algorithms responsibly and transparently.
To support this goal, I conducted a comparative analysis of AI guidelines from the EU, US, China, and Australia, as well as the EU AI Act, to inform the development of the AI traceability model. The research culminated in a
prototype of the AI Traceability tool and an internal publication, reflecting the sensitivity surrounding AI systems.
