“Large language models are less of a concern than ubiquitous artificial intelligence being integrated into every facet of human interaction until it quietly reshapes public life. AI is already deciding what you see, read, earn, and owe.”

“I build technologies that remember—so the world can’t forget. Each line of code holds a testimony, each archive a reckoning. My work gathers what injustice tried to erase, and reimagines what justice has yet to be.”
