Intellectual Independence
The credibility of research into AI governance, deepfakes, and information systems depends on radical transparency. This page outlines how my work is supported and the strict boundaries maintained to ensure intellectual integrity.
Our Independence Charter

- No donor-directed outcomes or "pay-for-conclusion" research.
- Full disclosure of all institutional and corporate partnerships.
- Strict conflict-of-interest policies for all collaborations.
