Designing and conducting experiments to assess the capacity of AI models to produce manipulative, misleading, or harmful textual outputs;

Developing metrics and evaluation protocols for detecting toxicity, bias, factual inconsistency, and cognitive distortion in model responses;

Investigating control mechanisms for mitigating undesired behaviors through prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model alignment, or data filtering techniques;

Analyzing multilingual and cross-cultural model behaviors in sensitive or high-risk communicative contexts;

Documenting research findings through scientific publications, internal benchmarks, and diagnostic reports;

Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams addressing ethical, societal, and regulatory aspects of generative AI systems;
