Jill Coleman

Founder

Jill Coleman is a child safety governance specialist and framework developer focused on institutional risk, accountability, and structural gaps in digital environments. She works on identifying the conditions under which responsibility, control, and accountability become misaligned when non-deterministic systems interact with children in regulated settings such as schools, and across broader digital environments.

She developed the Institutional Accountability Framework (IAF), which defines the structural conditions under which institutional responsibility remains paired with authority when AI systems are introduced into student-facing environments. Her work also examines the structural failure modes of AI systems, including the absence of reliable attribution, consequence binding, and feedback mechanisms, as well as the infrastructure required for observability, reconstruction, and auditability in real-world deployment.

The IAF establishes analytical standards for supervision, reconstructability, and accountability attribution that are often not fully addressed in existing regulatory and risk management frameworks.

Her broader work examines accountability as a systems-level property, including the infrastructure, governance conditions, and technical limitations that determine whether responsibility can be meaningfully assigned and enforced in complex digital systems.

Prior to this work, she held data and analytics roles in Silicon Valley, focusing on pricing, yield management, and large-scale algorithmic systems including behavioral optimization. She applies that operational background to analyzing how complex systems behave under real-world conditions where institutional accountability, risk allocation, and child safety intersect.

Rebecca Soylemez is a native New Yorker who spent her career in finance on Wall Street before relocating to Florida.

In Spring of 2024, Rebecca co-founded a parent-led group at their children’s school with Jill Coleman focused on educating families about the harms of social media on children. Shortly thereafter, Rebecca and Jill launched the Palm Beach County chapter of MAMA (Mothers Against Media Addiction), which has grown to more than 600 members countywide.

Over the past two years, their work has included hosting parent education events, meeting with state and federal legislators, speaking regularly before the Palm Beach County School District Board, and partnering with organizations nationwide.

Their advocacy work has helped advance meaningful policy change, including the passage of Florida’s Phone-Free School bill, as part of a broader effort to protect children online and reduce phone use in schools.
