I am currently a Scientist in Residence in the Human and Social Sciences section of UNESCO and a collaborating member of the International Observatory on the Societal Impact of AI and Digital Technology (OBVIA). Throughout my years in graduate school (linguistics, cognitive sciences, experimental psychology), I developed an interest in science diplomacy, which I see as a crucial tool to put research into action. This interest led to my current position, in which I serve as an intermediary between various stakeholders on questions related to Artificial Intelligence ethics and governance.
