I am exploring how AI governance can better respect the voice and sovereignty of communities and smaller states. I hope to find meaningful ways to work at the centers on ethical statecraft, participatory governance, and ensuring that global AI policy is shaped with countries at the margins and not just adapted to them.

In channeling River Song from Doctor Who: “You don’t expect a sunset to admire you back—but it does.” Good governance, like good time travel, only works when humility meets responsibility.
