I’m very grateful for the constant support of my advisor,
@ramakrishnansr.bsky.social, who was there that day as always. I’m also deeply thankful to my co-author and mentor, Alejandro Cuevas, we missed him at the conference, and I truly appreciate his guidance and support.

Honestly, it felt a bit surreal. I was presenting work I genuinely care about, in front of people whose work I had been following online and learning from for years, back when I was still an undergrad in Egypt.

I recently delivered my first research talk at #USEC2026 co-located with NDSS, presenting my first PhD paper on a new and unexpected AI-powered NSFW deepfake marketplace that seems to be hiding in plain sight on Fiverr.

🔊 AI-generated NSFW services have long lived in underground forums and telegram groups. Our new USEC 2026 paper shows that these services may also be hiding in plain sight in one of the largest freelance marketplaces, Fiverr. Catch @mo-mo2025.bsky.social's talk on this work on Feb 27 at USEC!

We at UC Santa Cruz & Stanford are studying how orgs govern AI responsibly. If you work in AI governance, privacy, or compliance, we’d love your insight.
