NCADA in the Field
Partnerships, milestones, and the work behind NCADA's policy and technology initiatives.
Annika Raj
Chair of the Board
NCADA was founded and is chaired by Annika Raj, who recognized that the rapid proliferation of deepfake technology was outpacing the legal system's ability to protect victims. Under her leadership, NCADA has built partnerships with the United Nations, major universities, detection companies, and state governments to drive legislative and technological change.
Key Milestones
