Aisha Nakamura

Aisha Nakamura grew up between Tokyo and London, the daughter of a Japanese software engineer and a British social scientist — a background that shaped her instinct to ask both how technology works and what it does to people. She studied philosophy and computer science at University College London before completing a master's degree in technology policy at the Oxford Internet Institute. At Discovia, Aisha covers algorithmic fairness, AI governance, facial recognition policy, data privacy, and the growing field of explainable AI. She is one of the sharpest thinkers writing at the intersection of technology and society, and she is committed to covering these issues in a way that is grounded, accessible, and genuinely useful to people navigating a world increasingly shaped by systems they did not design and cannot see. She is based in London.
