1. i.

   Where alignment work breaks down in Arabic

   For AI safety teams · multilingual NLP labs · enterprise GenAI buyers

   What multilingual evaluation surfaces when you stop treating English as the baseline. Idiom and register that slip past safety filters, test sets that weren't drawn for non-Latin scripts, the operational shape of language-specific QC. Drawn from leading multilingual AI quality at Innodata across Arabic, Hebrew, and English; concrete examples, not abstractions.

   Format 30–45 min talk · or 90 min workshop with a hands-on eval segment

2. ii.

   Red-teaming in non-English: a beginner's notebook

   For AI safety conferences · policy circles · researchers entering the field

   I'm learning red-teaming in Arabic in public, via Thagrah. Honest survey of what transfers from English literature, what doesn't, what tooling actually exists, what the obvious gaps are. Less a master class than a working document — useful precisely because the path is still being drawn.

   Format 25–35 min talk · or a fireside conversation

3. iii.

   Shipping small focused tools fast

   For founders · indie builders · product teams · engineering meetups

   What I've learned shipping Folio, Tayyar, and Thagrah on tight clocks. The scoping discipline, the cuts that hurt, the difference between iterating in public and dithering in public, what shipped and what didn't.

   Format 30–45 min talk · or 2-hour build-along workshop

4. iv.

   The political life of digital infrastructure

   For AI governance forums · cyber-policy events · academic seminars

   What the MA in Cyber Politics & Government at TAU looks at, and why a cyber-politics frame matters for AI governance specifically — including the gap between how alignment teams think about safety and how policy makers think about risk.

• Audience-shaped. Every talk gets rewritten for the room. The abstracts above are the bones; the muscle is built for the venue.
• Honest about the edges. I'll tell the audience where I know enough to teach and where I'm still learning. The latter is sometimes the more useful part.
• Multilingual when it helps. Comfortable in English, Arabic, and Hebrew. Happy to do mixed-language Q&A.
• Quiet on stage. I'm a writer first, which means measured pacing and a heavy reliance on the slides carrying their weight. No theatrics.
