Dr Stéphanie Camaréna helps organisations design and adopt AI that serves people, productivity and planetary limits. Founder of Source Transitions and AI Innovation Lead at Source Agility, she draws on 25 years of delivering technology across sectors, and on doctoral research at RMIT University, where she also teaches in the Ethical AI Futures Lab.
Her Bottom-Up Engagement Framework, developed during her PhD on AI in the redesign of sustainable food systems, combines design thinking, lean and agile practice, and co-design. It locates innovation where pain points originate, with employees, customers and affected communities, so that AI systems are contextual, functionally grounded and used in practice.
Stéphanie contributes to several Horizon Europe consortia, mentors the OECD Global Partnership on AI, and teaches AI ethics to diplomats through UNITAR. She facilitated the participatory AI workshops at the UN AI for Good Summit in 2024 and 2025, convening more than 300 experts on inclusive AI futures and AI in education.
