Karolina is a DPhil student in Social Data Science and a Clarendon Scholar at the OII. Her research focuses on the societal impacts of advanced AI systems. She develops methods to anticipate, evaluate, and mitigate AI safety risks, with particular interest in manipulation, deception, and strategic behaviour across human-AI and multi-agent settings.
She works on sociotechnical evaluation frameworks that go beyond narrow performance metrics, analysing how AI systems behave when embedded in real social, institutional, and user environments, including in setting where it has access to user’s personalisation data.
Alongside her doctoral research, Karolina teaches AI Ethics and Alignment at Stanford, building on experience spanning AI safety research, industry deployment, and public sector governance.
