Fractional Chief AI Officer | AI Safety & Governance | Founder, Ultra Deep Tech
I help companies build safe, secure AI systems as a Fractional Chief AI Officer. With 15+ years in AI/ML — including leading AI Innovation at Motorola Solutions and collaborating with Israeli Intelligence on AI cybersecurity — I bring deep technical expertise paired with C-suite strategic leadership.
What I do for clients:
- AI governance strategy and EU AI Act compliance readiness
- GenAI security architecture (prompt injection, data leakage, model hijacking)
- Cognitive bias detection and responsible AI…
Work
Eidetic - AI Forensic Evidence Infrastructure
ultradeep.techDeveloping Eidetic, an AI forensic evidence infrastructure for EU AI Act compliance (Articles 11-12). Provides tamper-proof chain-of-custody logging, audit trails, and enforcement-ready documentation for AI systems. Built for organizations preparing for EU AI Act enforcement in August 2026 — ensuring every AI decision is traceable, explainable, and legally defensible.
Safety Shield Ultra - Real-Time GenAI Security
ultradeep.techDesigned and built Safety Shield Ultra, a real-time security layer for GenAI and Agentic AI systems. Protects against prompt injection attacks, data leakage, and model hijacking. Purpose-built for enterprises deploying AI in regulated environments where a single security breach can mean regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and compromised customer data.
Lucid - Cognitive Bias Detection for GenAI
ultradeep.techBuilt and launched Lucid, a cognitive bias detection engine that identifies 70+ hidden biases in GenAI outputs, documents, and videos at 98% precision in under 2 minutes. Unlike competitors focused on social/discrimination bias auditing, Lucid targets cognitive biases (confirmation, anchoring, availability heuristic, Dunning-Kruger, etc.) that silently corrupt AI-driven decisions in regulated industries.
