Sherol, an AI Research Engineer from Google, has been working on ways that AI can provide creative leverage for over 10 years. She works on representational alignment for how generative models can better adapt to user intent, and is excited about the ways we can use technology to amplify and cultivate creativity in people across diverse communities.

“That is what the scientist is seeking. That is what the artist is seeking, his writings, his weaving, his music, his pictures are just the expressions of his soul in his search for Truth. My paintings are my soul’s expression of it’s yearnings and questions in its desire to understand the work of the Great Creator.” - Dr. George Washington Carver
