About Rebecca
Dr Rebecca Johnson is an AI evaluation and governance expert focused on how generative and agentic AI systems behave in real-world contexts. She holds a PhD from the University of Sydney and previously worked in Google Research’s Ethical AI team. During her doctorate, she received scholarships from MIT and Stanford to participate in leading AI-focused programs.
Her work focuses on how AI systems behave in practice, how responsibility and accountability can be evaluated and made visible, and how benchmarks shape what organisations measure and optimise. She has developed new approaches to AI evaluation and critically examined the limitations of widely used benchmarks.
Rebecca is Lead Guest Editor for the Springer AI and Ethics special collection on AI agents. She has convened large-scale conferences and policy think tanks on generative AI and its governance, and founded the global network PhD Students in AI Ethics. She advises organisations and institutions on how to evaluate, explain and remain accountable for AI systems in practice, and is a regular media commentator on AI and society.
