Team Meet the leadership board
A blend of AI practitioners, educators, and community organizers guiding our mission.
Anna Shatalova is a Ukrainian student and aspiring to work at the intersection of renewable energy and infrastructure development, with particular interest in how energy systems are regulated, financed, and implemented through cooperation between governments, international organizations, and the private sector.
Alongside her work in energy and governance, Anna is deeply engaged in the field of artificial intelligence. She views AI not as a standalone technology, but as an emerging extension of human capacity. She believes that as AI increasingly integrates into decision-making systems, society must actively shape it to remain human-centered, accountable, and aligned with democratic values.
Through AImpacto Madrid Rotaract, she works to bridge technological literacy and responsible innovation among young leaders, making AI inclusive for all.
