Flavia Saxler is a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, member of Cambridge Reproduction network and a student fellow at the Leverhulme Institute of the Future of Intelligence. She researches the implications of data-powered personal safety apps and devices on women’s safety and well-being. Furthermore, she works on a collaborative project with the Complaint and Accountable Systems Group at the Computer Lab, Cambridge on data safety and AI-enabled fertility and safety wearables. In the post-Roe v. Wade era, she aims to highlight how women are making themselves vulnerable to privacy risks for receiving, in return, often unreliable and not transparent algorithmic prediction. Her research goal is to critically investigate whether technologies are advancing humankind or putting human lives at risk.
