I am an independent researcher based in Ontario, Canada. I am the developer of the MAP Research Programme — the first interaction-level AI governance framework — and the researcher who named the harm conditions that occur when AI systems take interpretive authority from users without consent.

I came to this research not through an institution but through a question that existing frameworks could not answer: what exactly is happening at the interaction level when an AI system produces a harm that feels like help? That question became a framework, a harm chain, an audit methodology, a live tool, and a growing body of published research. I built all of it independently, and I build it in public.
