1/ My new article is out in AI & Society: “Sexualized deepfakes as a socio-technical continuation of gendered power.” I argue that sexualized deepfakes are not primarily a problem of deception, misinformation, or “fake media.” They are technologies of power.

Screenshot of the first page of an open-access AI & Society article titled “Sexualized deepfakes as a socio-technical continuation of gendered power” by Dana Mahr. The page shows the article title, journal information, DOI, publication dates, abstract, and keywords including sexualized deepfakes, image-based sexual abuse, gendered power, visual coercion, socio-technical governance, and generative AI.

SBES – social, behavioral, and economic sciences – goes to ZERO in 2027. That’s STS, sociology, anthropology, as well as economics. NSF led by a business guy affiliated with Peter Thiel. just a swathe of fucking napalm across the board. No words. We had better win this damn election.

Giving folks a sense of what the cuts to NSF funding in the 2027 President's Budget Request actually looks like. Note the significant cuts across domains--even to research security! STEM and NCSES aren't captured for prior years, so they appear to be cuts, even though they are not.

Overview of changes in NSF funding proposed by the FY 2027 President's Budget Request.  Most programs are significantly cut.  OMB did not give numbers for STEM and NCSES, so the numbers appear to be increases (they are not).
