Kolina Koltai, PhD
Investigative journalist at Bellingcat

Currently, I'm an investigator and trainer at Bellingcat. I write on many things, but I mostly investigate AI companies and the people behind non-consensual deepfake explicit imagery. You can read these stories here.

 

Before this, I was an academic researcher focused on studying how sociotechnical systems influence the decision-making of social groups. I studied this phenomenon in the context of the vaccine debate and vaccine misinformation in digital communities and social networking platforms. I got my PhD in Information Studies at the University of Texas at Austin

I also post on Bluesky.
