Tufts article on AIDA alum Dharva Khambholia

A recent Tufts article by Masie O’Brian, Using AI to detect AI, reported on the collaboration between the Prof. Shuo Zhang (AIDA) at Tufts and Prof. Jennifer Williams, University of Southampton, UK. The collaboration was part of the project funded by Responsible-AI (RAI) UK to develop responsible and trustworthy AI systems in safety critical communication systems, co-led by three investigators from the UK (Dr.Jennifer Williams), US (Dr. Peng Wei, George Washington University), and Australia (Dr.Zena Assaad, Australian National University). Tufts students and AIDA lab research assistants Dharva Khambholia and Zhou Zhou contributed to the research to create a synthetic speech data set targeted at anti-spoofing, advised by Prof Zhang and Prof Williams. This project culminated in three international workshops held in Washington DC, Sydney and London, where researchers and government policy makers got together to discuss responsible AI from a technical and policy perspective. Prof Shuo Zhang participated in the RAI UK workshop (London) and Southampton seminar in 2025. Dharva and Prof. Zhang also participated in the Washington DC workshop in 2024.
