media and entertainment lawyer demystifying AI, publicity, IP + contracts for creatives, performers, and tech folk 🎬 into film, tv, wine, and delayed gratification🍷 self-exiled American in London 🩵 Hugo’s Mom
Spoke at “The Augmented Gaze” in Rotterdam yesterday on AI, XR & privacy for #NationalXRDay. But I don’t want to lecture about AI. I want real conversations, with room for nuance, doubt, and human stakes. These convos aren’t just for lecture halls or boardrooms — they belong over coffee, over wine.

In an augmented world, you might appear as a version of you shaped by someone else’s imagination, algorithm, or agenda… at RESKINNED ALIVE at @sxsw London today, I got to explore that tension as a lawyer who specialises in publicity and digital personhood. Love my job ⚡️

So happy to be here in #Cannes for the 78th Cannes Film Festival!

Almost everyone has an opinion on using AI in the movie industry 🤔 my job is to help people protect their rights and, if they *do* want to use the tech, to do so responsibly. Want my personal view? It’ll cost you a Campari Spritz

Regulators are boring. Policymakers are boring. Lawyers are boring. Yeah, I know. But we have an important job to do — especially when it comes to stuff like keeping consumers, audiences, patients, and children safe ✨

Me for TRT Roundtable, discussing Trump and Elon Musk’s dislike of regulations.

The Trump-Musk bromance seems to be all about “cutting waste” and firing “lazy bureaucrats”. Are we seeing cutthroat corporate tactics that don’t fit well with the public sector? With democracy more generally?

I’ve just arrived in Antwerp. Not only is Antwerpen-Centraal one of the most gorgeous train stations I’ve ever seen, but the ease with which I navigated here from Brussels (while multitasking and barely caffeinated) puts England to shame. Honestly, I have PTSD thanks to Euston and Virgin / Avanti

AI bias in filmmaking — what is it, how does it happen, and what can we do to prevent racial &/or gendered stereotypes? I discussed this important question during an interview at Locarno Film Festival last month! Here’s an excerpt ⬇️ #genai #filmindustry
