About
Elle Farrell-Kingsley is a writer, AI advisor, and vintage futurist whose work spans AI ethics, speculative storytelling and cinematic couture.
Founder of PsyberVision, Elle has advised governments, institutions, and NGOs on the societal implications of AI, data, and emerging technologies. Recognised as one of the 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics and a TechWomen100 Awardee, her reflections on responsible technology and digital futures have appeared in Forbes, BBC, CNBC, Yahoo! and other global outlets. Her work has contributed to initiatives involving the UK Parliament, the Commonwealth, and the European Commission’s Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM), spanning AI governance, cybersecurity, legal technology, and climate policy. 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.
Elle developed privacy and data modules for the AI for Good UN ITU programme and has advised on AI adoption across scientific ecosystems in Europe. She represented the UK as a G7 Y7 Ambassador and received academic recognition, including Oxford University’s Sustainable Finance Programme, a Lord Blunkett Scholarship in Legal Technology & Cyberlaw, and a John Schofield Fellowship with BBC journalism training.
Beyond technology and policy, Elle works across 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.
Writing under Elle F. Kingsley, she explores the philosophical dimensions of emerging disruptive technologies through speculative fiction, advocating for digital detoxes, mindful media, and deliberate device use, while reflecting on the consequences of constant connectivity.
Elle teaches public speaking and delivers talks internationally at events including the Responsible AI Summit, the Horizon Scanning Network, Youth for Privacy, and university panels, and has led Stanford University’s 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"
