Anna McGovern

Anna leads editorial teams in machine learning projects for BBC News, BBC Sport, BBC Sounds, and BBC World Service. She also works on codifying editorial wisdom into the BBC's algorithms - so that content is surfaced in rich, interesting and appropriate ways that is valued by the audience and meets the BBC's commitment to responsible machine learning. Additionally, Anna also focuses on evaluating and testing automatically curated output (such as recommendations and personalisation) within various contexts, which requires assessment of complex editorial matters, compliance of legal issues, and regulatory responsibilities as outlined by Ofcom.
