→→ Author, Artist, AI Tamer ⛓️
Trained in law at McGill University, I am a technology policy researcher and advisor.
I work towards a world where AI is grounded in human rights and the imaginative perspectives of the subaltern and marginalized.
Most recently, I held the position of Responsible AI Adoption Lead at the Applied AI Institute at Concordia University, where I worked with software engineers to build robust software and help tame ⛓️ AI technologies.
I have written and spoken extensively on technology law and policy. I’m an established legal scholar and policy advisor in Canada, dedicated to human rights and AI.
At the end of my LL.M at University of Ottawa, I received the CLTS Impact Award for my leadership on cybersecurity, data governance, and digital rights.
I’m also a multidisciplinary artist. I use words and image to uncover hidden truths and power. My work also explores radical vulnerability for individual and collective freedom.
When I’m not at a computer or exploring the potential
In previous lives, I was a classically trained pianist and studied music and education. I was also an advocate for people who, like me, also grew up in foster care.
I am genderqueer and prefer they/them pronouns; you can also use she/her. Relatedly, I now have a Montreal mullet.
