Leigh Felton is President and Chair of the AI for Job Security Foundation and creator of the Co-Adaptive Anthropotechnical Environments (CAAE) framework, which examines AI as an environment that reshapes human behavior, organizational authority, decision-making, and accountability rather than simply as a tool operating inside an existing process. Her work focuses on where responsibility for AI implementation actually lands inside institutions, how authority shifts when AI enters a decision process, and what organizations fail to see when those boundaries are left undefined. Her perspective is grounded in nearly two decades of leadership across technology, public-sector transformation, and organizational strategy, including Responsible AI leadership at Microsoft. At Microsoft, she served in senior leadership roles including Chief of Staff and Head of Responsible AI Enablement, where she helped build and scale the company's Responsible AI Champs model to translate Responsible AI principles into organizational practice. She previously held Chief of Staff and senior leadership roles at Mozilla and within Washington State government.
