She has advised global leaders, including Joe Biden, the President of the United States, and Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former Secretary General of NATO.  She has also worked with some of the world’s premier companies and organisations, including Microsoft, Adobe, DARPA, and the UN.    A familiar face at technology conferences such as CES, TEDx, CogX and WebSummit, Nina is also a regular contributor to discussions about AI on the BBC, CNN, Sky News, Bloomberg and more.  In her conversation with Helen, Nina outlines the continuing risks posed by deepfake technologies and the technological counter-measures that can be used to safeguard against them.  You can watch the video of her interview on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/f4zTbGWYan8
