Helyeh Doutaghi, a scholar at Yale Law School, was placed on administrative leave after an AI-generated article falsely labeled her a "terrorist" due to her advocacy ties. Doutaghi, a prominent scholar in international law, expressed that the swift administrative action by Yale left her vulnerable to harassment and threats from the public. In her statement, she emphasized the lack of institutional support during a crisis stemming from misinformation, which not only affected her professional standing but also her personal sense of security during a difficult time.
My name is Helyeh Doutaghi. I am a scholar of international law and geopolitical economy... I have specifically examined the mechanisms and consequences of economic warfare on Iran.
Rather than defend me, the Yale Law School moved within less than 24 hours of learning about the report to place me on leave.
I was given only a few hours' notice by the administration to attend an interrogation based on far-right AI-generated allegations against me.
I endured all of this while fasting, enduring a flood of online harassment, death threats, and abuse by Zionist trolls.
