I had a great conversation with Paul Bouchaud at @aiforensics.org about their research tracking the proliferation of Grok-generated deepfakes across the internet, which disproportionately impacted women. Check it out in the most recent of AWO's newsletter here!

Happy our investor briefing on the risks of surveillance tech is out! We examined real-world cases where surveillance tools have been linked to serious human rights harms, and the material, legal and reputational consequences. It also sets out practical due diligence tools for investors. 🛠️

Newsletter is out! Was great to speak to @djleufer.bsky.social about how the EU's AI Omnibus undermines key AI Act transparency requirements – which were a crucial step towards accountability & fundamental rights redress – and the broader context of simplification. Well worth a read here.👇
