I research and develop strategies to address the impact of synthetic media, deepfakes, and audiovisual AI in critical contexts like elections, conflicts, and nonconsensual imagery. My work aims to empower frontline communities, activists, and artists to navigate both the ethical possibilities and risks of AI.
