Claire Leibowicz is the Head of AI and Media Integrity at the Partnership on AI, a global multistakeholder nonprofit devoted to responsible artificial intelligence. Through convenings and research with stakeholders from civil society, media, academia, and industry, the AI and Media Integrity program works to develop best practices for the development of AI technologies that impact digital media and online information. Claire's current projects focus on synthetic and manipulated content, misinformation interventions, responsible recommender systems, and AI's role in the sustainability of local news.
Claire also oversees PAI's AI and Media Integrity Steering Committee -- a formal body of PAI partners including experts from Adobe, Amazon, BBC, CBC, Facebook, First Draft, Microsoft, The New York Times, WITNESS, and XPRIZE working to develop and advise projects that strengthen online public discourse. Before launching the AI and Media Integrity program, Claire developed and led all of PAI’s Program Areas, including those focused on AI safety, the future of work, human-AI collaboration, and fairness, transparency, and accountability challenges. Claire’s insights have appeared in publications such as Axios, Consumer Reports, WIRED, The Hill, TechTarget, and IEEE Spectrum, and she has advised companies, governments, and nonprofit organizations on technology and media.
In 2021, Claire was a Journalism Fellow at Tablet Magazine, where she explored questions at the intersection of technology, society, and digital culture. Her piece, “Preparing for a World of Holocaust Deepfakes,” considered how the history of Holocaust denial and media manipulation can inform our present understanding of how to counter misinformation on social media.
Claire holds a BA in Psychology and Computer Science from Harvard, and an MSc in the Social Science of the Internet from the Oxford Internet Institute, where she studied as a Clarendon Scholar. She’ll return to Oxford part-time this fall for her PhD.
