With years of experience serving as an expert witness in high-profile court cases and leading large AI modelling and development teams, Dr Oldfield has observed first-hand the deep structural gaps that exist across software, model development, and AI governance. These insights have driven her mission to create a more reliable, transparent, and responsible approach to AI development.
Identifying the Gaps in AI Development
Dr Oldfield’s professional background highlights persistent challenges organisations face, such as:
- Lack of standardised AI governance
- Insufficient documentation and oversight
- Ethical blind spots in model development
- Unclear accountability across teams
- Weak or inconsistent risk-assessment processes
These gaps can lead to failed AI deployments, financial losses, regulatory violations, and reputational damage. Dr Oldfield has dedicated years of academic and industry research to addressing these issues.
Founding the World’s Only AI Accreditation for Professionals
To solve these systemic challenges, Dr Oldfield founded the first and only AI Accreditation specifically designed for professionals. This accreditation provides:
✔ A structured framework for ethical AI development
✔ Clear standards for model documentation
✔ Practical tools for risk governance
✔ A pathway to align with global AI regulations
✔ Best practice guidelines validated across multiple industries
The accreditation has not only been recognised — it has been officially approved by a steering board consisting of leading representatives from:
- Government
- Academia
- Industry
This diverse support gives the accreditation—and the upcoming software—a strong foundation of credibility and authority.
Turning Academic Research Into Real-World Software
The next step in Dr Oldfield’s mission is to operationalise this research into a powerful software platform.
The software will integrate the principles of the accreditation directly into development workflows, enabling teams to:
✔ Build ethically aligned AI models
✔ Standardise risk assessment and documentation
✔ Improve compliance with emerging AI laws
✔ Increase transparency and accountability
✔ Reduce both financial and reputational risk
This transformation from theory to software marks a critical milestone in bridging the gap between research and practical application.
A Vision for a Safer Digital Future
Dr Oldfield welcomes this forward movement, recognising how important ethical AI practices are for the future of digital innovation. This goal is clear:
Help professionals adopt best practices today to secure a responsible, trustworthy digital tomorrow.
By combining legal experience, technical leadership, academic research, and broad cross-sector support, Dr Oldfield’s work stands as one of the most influential contributions to the future of ethical AI.
