Benedetta Burston

Short bio

Benedetta is a doctoral researcher at Tallinn University of Technology. She studies how cities can govern AI systems responsibly and use them to create public value. Her research asks how public organisations build the capacity to oversee these systems and how procurement and accountability shape public trust.

Her work builds on research in public management and cybersecurity, including a study of how organisations can protect essential services while taking public values into account. She holds a master’s degree in Communication, Culture and Technology from Georgetown University.
