Core investigations driving my AI governance, deepfake harm prevention, and policy frameworks.

Investigation 01

Deepfake-CSAM

Investigation of deepfake-generated child exploitation cases. I completed a case study that required me to thoroughly study police cases of minors who were victims of deepfakes. The purpose was to review PA legislation, to see if they are protective of victims. The full policy brief is available to read or download below.

Dissection of AI Legislation

I read AI and deepfake legislation section by section and annotate it: what each provision does, where it leaves gaps, and how it would actually play out in an incident. This is primary-source analysis, not commentary on the news cycle.

Pennsylvania's AI Fakes Law
Senate Bill 1213 · Act 125 of 2024

Scope: A short paraphrase of what the law covers and who it applies to.

What works: A note on the provision(s) that hold up well in practice.

The gap: Where enforcement, definitions, or coverage fall short, and how that gap would surface in a real incident.

The Office Network
MDA-CS-2026-001

A fictional scenario in which a deepfake video impersonating a senior executive circulates internally, used to examine how an organization's incident response, HR, and communications teams would coordinate under pressure.
