Staying Human
in the Age of
Intelligent Systems.
Exploring the intersection of AI, governance, human behavior, and institutional decision-making across borders, disciplines, and industries.
I study how humans and systems shape each other.
THE WORK
My work sits at the intersection of AI governance, international security, organizational behavior, and human judgment.
Across the United States and the Middle East, I have worked within universities, humanitarian organizations, research institutions, and cross-sector initiatives examining how systems influence people — and how people, in turn, shape the systems around them.
I am particularly interested in the relationship between emerging technologies and human decision-making: how institutions adapt under pressure, how trust is built or lost, and what it means to remain accountable in increasingly intelligent environments.
My current research explores artificial intelligence, strategic competition, export controls, cognition, and institutional responsibility — with a broader focus on preserving human agency in an age of accelerating technological change.
How institutions adapt to emerging technologies, shifting power structures, and new forms of responsibility.
GOVERNANCE
How people make decisions under pressure, uncertainty, and increasingly intelligent systems.
HUMAN JUDGMENT
SECURITY & STRATEGY
How frontier technologies reshape international security, strategic competition, and state power.
SYSTEMS & SOCIETY
How technology, culture, institutions, and human behavior shape one another.
I work where decisions made in rooms of power shape the lives of those who may never enter them.
Data from the Stanford HAI AI Index 2026 reveals that the #1 barrier to responsible AI isn't budget, technology, or regulation. It's the people in charge. It’s the human.
