AI and the Future of Survivor Advocacy

Chad Sniffen

Hosted by the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence’s Teal Talk Podcast.

In this episode of Teal Talk, Laurie sits down with Chad Sniffen, Director of Digital Experience and Safety at me too. International, to explore the impact of AI on the anti-violence movement.

This conversation is both practical and philosophical, offering advocates guidance on drafting policies, protecting survivor data, and navigating a rapidly evolving digital landscape. AI isn’t going away. The question is: how do we engage with it responsibly?

Dr. Koss gives an overview of sexual violence and alcohol consumption, and she and Dr. Anderson talk about some of the ways prevention efforts can impact young men.
