Bronwyn is Translational Fellow and Lead for the Public Media and Democracy workstream on the AHRC-funded Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) programme. BRAID works to embed Arts and Humanities research into the responsible AI ecosystem. Bronwyn researches the implications of AI for public service media and the journalism industry to inform responsible AI strategies, policies and practices.

She is also a Research Lead at the Responsible Innovation Centre for Public Media Futures (RIC) hosted at BBC R&D. Here she interrogates the implications of AI for journalism and pursues her interest in how public service media might develop and deploy value-aligned data-driven technologies to deliver public value.

Prior to this, Bronwyn was a DCMS Policy Fellow, researching the risks posed by generative AI for journalism and the public sphere.

Her work is interdisciplinary and has been funded by the EPSRC, ESRC, AHRC, and Alan Turing Institute. She has explored how generative AI is impacting journalism and the information ecosystem, the intelligibility of AI systems in newsrooms, how to improve AI literacy amongst journalists (see e.g. PubVIA & ICE-AI projects). She obtained an Alan Turing Institute Postdoctoral Enrichment Award and a junior fellowship at the Leuven Institute for Advanced Study (LIAS) at KU Leuven to work on AI in knowledge production and news reporting.

Bronwyn is part of the Media and Communications cluster at the Centre for Data, Culture & Society. She is also a research affiliate at Edinburgh Futures Institute.
