The first “deepfake cartographer”, Henry has transformed global understanding of AI generated media, including his groundbreaking 2019 report, The State of Deepfakes, which was the first to map the tangible impact of generative technologies. He has previously led frontier AI programs at MIT and The Partnership on AI and co-leads the University of Cambridge’s Generative AI In Business programme, where he is a visiting researcher.

Henry is an expert advisor to leading organisations including Meta, The World Economic Forum, Adobe, UK Government, EU Commission, and Synthesia.

A globally recognised media contributor, Henry frequently appears in broadcasts from CNN, Bloomberg, and BBC News, and in publications including The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Wall Street Journal. Henry anticipated the broader impact of AI and deepfakes in his acclaimed BBC 2022 documentary series, The Future Will be Synthesised.

Previously, Henry was Head of Policy at Metaphysic, Hollywood’s leading AI company, and Head of Threat Intelligence at Sensity, the world’s first deepfake detection startup.
