Bianca Farthing

Bianca Farthing is an educator, researcher and director working at the intersection of ethics, pedagogy and emerging technologies. She completed her MSc in Learning and Teaching at the University of Oxford, where she specialised in the responsible integration of generative AI in school environments. Bianca is now undertaking her PhD on the purpose of education in an algorithmic age. Bianca is the Founder of AI Edify, a consultancy focused on supporting schools and organisations to approach AI with clarity, responsibility and long-term sustainability. She is also the Director of ICAI (the Initiative for Conscious AI), a youth-centred non-profit that equips young people to design AI solutions for social good, and Director of Agenix Intelligence, which supports organisations in developing governance-first approaches to AI adoption. In addition, she serves as an expert reviewer for She Shapes AI, contributing to national and global conversations on equity, safety and ethical AI standards. Before her work in research, advisory roles and innovation, Bianca was a history teacher. This grounding in classroom practice continues to shape her approach: attentive to context, aware of constraints and committed to ensuring that technology strengthens rather than displaces the human relationships at the heart of education.
