DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording.\n\nZoom link.\n\nDate: June 5\, 2026\n\nTi
 me: 2 p.m.\n\nLocation: KEC 1001\n\n \n\nAbstract: The rapid growth of art
 ificial intelligence (AI) has created a complex ecosystem where competing 
 interests—governments\, creators\, AI companies\, and users—intersect.
  This power dynamic has sparked tension between innovation\, regulation\, 
 and individual rights. Balancing and accommodating the power tussle among 
 stakeholders is essential for the sustainable development of AI. Today\, t
 he current ecosystem concentrates most power and control in the hands of a
  few entities\, resulting in unintended harms and suboptimal development. 
 \n\n \n\nMy research tackles these challenges by developing technical solu
 tions to mitigate the harms of AI misuse and restore power balance among s
 takeholders. I will begin by discussing my research on protecting creators
  from unauthorized style mimicry. Then\, I will present a proactive data p
 rotection system that employs clean-label data poisoning techniques to pre
 vent unwanted data scraping. Finally\, I will discuss maximizing external 
 impact of my work and my vision for building a more collaborative AI ecosy
 stem.\n\n \n\nBio: Shawn Shan is an Assistant Professor of Computer Scienc
 e at Dartmouth College. His research sits at the intersection of security 
 and machine learning\, focusing on safeguarding AI systems and mitigating 
 harms from AI misuse. He has received MIT Tech Review Innovator of the Yea
 r\, MIT Tech Review 35 Under 35\, Forbes 30 Under 30\, the USENIX Internet
  Defense Prize\, and Distinguished Paper Awards at USENIX Security and ACM
  CCS.
