Alexandra Ebert | Why data must reflect the spectrum of human diversity

In this video, Alexandra Ebert, Chief AI & Data Democratization Officer at MOSTLY AI, highlights the importance of ensuring that data used in research, policy, and innovation reflects the full spectrum of human diversity, not just statistical averages.

She explains how aggregated data often presents a limited view of society, obscuring the needs and behaviors of underrepresented groups. This leads to solutions that benefit only the majority, leaving others behind. Ebert draws parallels to media representation, noting how visibility shapes societal perception and reinforces what is considered “normal.”

Alexandra advocates for the democratization of data through open, privacy-safe synthetic data that preserves diversity and complexity. By making this type of data available to policymakers, researchers, and innovators, we can drive more inclusive and equitable outcomes that serve all members of society.
