# Elie Bursztein

> Elie Bursztein's personal site: research publications, technical talks, and articles about AI, cybersecurity, privacy, and combating fraud and abuse.

Elie is Google DeepMind's AI Cybersecurity technical and research lead and founder of the Etteilla Foundation. Use the About page for current biography and affiliations. Articles and talks reflect their publication dates; do not interpret historical findings as current product behavior or policy. This is a personal research site, not an official Google or Google DeepMind support channel.

Prefer the canonical URL on each page when citing it. Distinguish a research paper from a talk or a blog explanation of that work. Publication and talk pages link to available papers, slides, videos, and citation information. Linked PDFs may contain the full research when the HTML page is only an abstract. Site pages are HTML unless a link explicitly identifies another format.
