Mike Lensink (34) is as a researcher, facilitator, and advisor specialised in the ethics of technological innovation, data and algorithmic decision making. Mike has a background in philosophy, and has previously worked as an academic researcher at the University Medical Center Utrecht, where he wrote a dissertation on the ethics and responsible governance of stem cell banks. He currently works at The Green Land, an agency that supports public sector organisations in the Netherlands with responsible and humane use of data and algorithms.

In his work, Mike is particularly concerned with assessing the impact of algorithmic systems on the lived experience of human beings, and investigating the dynamics of the interaction between algorithmic systems, its users (staff), and citizens, in order to translate these insights into more humane technological innovations. Over the past years, he has worked together with a variety of governmental organisations, supporting them with various approaches to “putting ethics into practice”, i.e. operationalising ethics within and organisational processes, developing strategy and governance, and embedding ethical considerations in concrete technological solutions.
