Marianna Bezhanyan
I am a J.D. candidate at Duke University School of Law and a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, where I studied game design and generative AI through the Design Media Arts program.
My academic and professional interests have evolved from government surveillance, data privacy and immigration law, toward the legal challenges posed by emerging technologies. My earlier research examined interagency information sharing, migration policy and the use of biometric surveillance by government authorities, including work associated with Amnesty International and the UCLA Center for the Study of International Migration.
Building on this foundation and my background in digital media, my current interests focus on copyright, artificial intelligence, and privacy law, particularly AI-generated content, intellectual property rights, surveillance mechanisms and the evolving legal frameworks governing technological innovation. I am also interested in the broader regulatory and national security implications of AI.
This website brings together my publications, research projects, creative work, and professional experience.
