💼 Assistant Professor at Northeastern University 🏛️ Director Civic AI Lab ⚖️AI Tech Policy at the Global Partnernship on AI 🚀TR35 by MIT Tech review 🎓Alumni: UNAM & UCSB 👷Former Tech Worker
- I presented our paper on Upskilling and generative AI for knowledge workers, (co-authors -Isabel Lopez, Nakul Rajpal HUNJUN SHIN and @saiphcita.bsky.social ) and also spoke on the panel "Education, Literacy, and Upskilling."
I got back home after attending @chiwork.bsky.social in Linz 🇦🇹 and I've been reflecting on my experience.
My lab is presenting today at FAccT! 🎉 We study what AI-enhanced technologies justice-impacted individuals imagine Rather than seeking AI to fight the justice system, they envisioned AI to help navigate its power structures Paper: par.nsf.gov/biblio/10682... #FAccT26 #FAccT2026
Saiph Savage wants tech innovations to uplift workers, not crowd them out. Now, along with co-authors Pam Cerdeira and Liliana Savage, she's published a book showing gig workers how to turn AI's gains into their own gains. Read more: https://bit.ly/4w8KcxA
Our research on AI and the Future of Work made it into @wired.com ! The piece highlights AI-mediated hiring, one of the most consequential ways AI is already reshaping work. Glad to see research on AI and future work reach a broader audience. www.wired.com/story/he-cou... @saiphcita.bsky.social

Behind every AI answer. Every filtered feed. Every recommendation that knows you a little too well. There are people. Millions of data workers—annotators, content moderators, AI trainers—whose labor makes the AI economy run. techequity.us/ai-supply-ch...
Tackling the AI supply chain - TechEquity Collaborative
From the USA to Kenya, workers fuel multi-billion-dollar AI systems, but many face precarious employment and low wages.

Starting my week reading Mafalda. This strip reminds us that workers’ rights and collective action don’t move forward through slogans alone. They move when people organize & bring big ideas into everyday life Here’s to a Monday of solidarity, and turning “someday” into action 👊 #AIforWorker
I’ll be on Radio UNAM discussing the Grok case and the alarming rise of non-consensual digital nudity. I’ll explain why this is an architectural problem, not just user misuse, and how we can address it through prevention-by-design. Join me! 📻 96.1 FM | 860 AM www.youtube.com/shorts/AT0tZ...

I recently won a grant from the U.S. Justice Department to design AI tools & educational content for workforce re-entry We are co-designing everything with justice-impacted individuals, so the tools resonate & better impact people returning home 🌟 Read: www.khoury.northeastern.edu/from-incarce...
Coming up soon, is our keynote speaker, @saiphcita.bsky.social, who will speak gig worker collective action against algorithmic systems at 9:10AM!
@saiphcita.bsky.social shared with us the importance of data transparency for worker advocacy and collective action. This also enables the team to build culturally-aware recommendation tools for workers. Helping people understand the inner workings of technology will empower collective action.
I presented at the Vatican on AI for Good 🌍🙏 I shared how we can design AI that empowers workers, protects their dignity, and reduces inequality. How do you think the Catholic Church should approach AI for Good? ⛪️✝️ 🔴Read my full reflections in Opinion 51 : www.opinion51.com/saiph-savage... #AI
I teamed up with Dr. Rafael Morales (political scienctist) to teach at UNAM on AI for Policy Makers 🤖+🧑⚖️ Our students included: 🏛️Olimpia Coral, who led Mexican laws criminalizing digital violence ⚖️ Mexican Congresswomen We taught them how to use gen AI for public policy youtube.com/watch?v=dqm4...
The Google antitrust verdict is a paradox. The judge found Google GUILTY of maintaining an illegal monopoly But he also "recognized that AI has changed the game" & new competition is here. ➡️https://es.linkedin.com/pulse/el-fallo-del-juicio-google-qu%C3%A9-nos-dice-sobre-futuro-de-savage-erkde

Generative AI was just caught advising women to negotiate LOWER salaries than men. 😬 In this video, I break down why this bias might shows up & how freelancers can still leverage AI to win better gigs without bias⬇️ ✨https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8peM0LsDvQ #freelancer #freelancerTips #gigWork
I met with US Senator Ed Markey. I am proud he cited my research on the invisible labor powering AI. My research creates new tools to measure how workers fuel AI platforms under precarious, unseen conditions. See some of my related research: 🧪https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.00169
