About
Elle Farrell-Kingsley is a writer, AI advisor, and vintage futurist whose work bridges AI ethics, speculative storytelling and cinematic couture.
Through PsyberVision, Elle has provided advisory insights to governments, institutions, and organisations on the societal, ethical, and cultural implications of AI and emerging technologies. Her work spans AI governance, data privacy, and futures thinking, contributing to initiatives with the UK Parliament, the Commonwealth, and the European Commission’s Scientific Advice Mechanism. She also supported a Top 5 Big Tech client in developing more human-centred AI by training language models with ethical and culturally informed language.
Beyond technology and policy, Elle combines fashion, cinema and visual storytelling through The Vintage Futurist, creating cinematic couture and narrative-driven fashion projects influenced by archival aesthetics, silent-era glamour and mythology.
Her writing explores the philosophical and cultural dimensions of technology through speculative fiction and cultural analysis essays, reflecting on the consequences of constant connectivity. She examines how emerging technologies and modernity are reshaping perceptions, identities, and society.
For the UN ITU AI for Good programme, Elle created privacy, legal and data education modules to improve AI literacy. She's represented the UK as a G7 Y7 Ambassador, received academic recognition, and was awarded a scholarship for the University of Oxford's Sustainable Finance Programme, a Lord Blunkett Scholarship in Legal Technology & Cyberlaw, and a John Schofield Fellowship with BBC journalism training.
Recognised as one of the 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics and a TechWomen100 Awardee, her cultural insights appear in Forbes, BBC, CNBC, Yahoo!, and other global outlets. Elle teaches public speaking and speaks internationally at events including the Responsible AI Summit, the Horizon Scanning Network, Youth for Privacy, university panels, and led Stanford University’s async Ethics, Technology & Public Policy reading group.
"As an AI curator, writer, and QA editor, Elle's attention to detail and linguistic aptitude shone in the thoughtful prompts, dialogues, and golden-set responses she developed. Moreover, Elle quickly established herself as a leader amongst the QA team. With a strong grasp of the quality, safety, and behavioral principles, we were instilling into one of the major families of multimodal generative AI foundation models. Due to her exceptional performance, diligent work ethic, and demonstrated leadership, Elle was often selected to join experimental teams developing novel capabilities for conversational, multimodal and search engine AI models"
