"The president and CEO of the nonpartisan Center for Democracy & Technology came to her job via a background in human-rights law and a stint with the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she worked on issues including voting rights and consumer protection. She says she realized early in her career that "the fight for civil rights in the 21st century is a technology fight." Her organization is devoted to protecting people's rights in the digital age."
"The Pew Research Center found that most Americans are deeply concerned about AI's impact on their lives, and for good reason: Beyond teenagers using ChatGPT to do their homework, scammers have employed AI tools to create deepfake porn videos of public and private figures, ICE has used the tech to scan people's faces and social-media accounts, and the President of the United States has shared an AI-generated video to depict a fantasy about dousing protesters with poop."
Alexandra Reeve Givens is president and CEO of the nonpartisan Center for Democracy & Technology. Her background includes human-rights law and a stint with the Senate Judiciary Committee working on voting rights and consumer protection. She realized early in her career that "the fight for civil rights in the 21st century is a technology fight." The organization focuses on protecting people's rights in the digital age and grappling with implications of rapidly deployed artificial-intelligence tools. Public concern about AI is high given examples of misuse such as student reliance on ChatGPT, deepfake pornography, ICE facial scans, and an AI-generated presidential video. Givens serves on the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation board, which pursues a spinal-cord injury cure. CDT advocates regulatory approaches while defending federal consumer and worker protection agencies under political pressure.
