 Dr. Gwyneth Sutherlin Associate Professor Artificial Intelligence Ethics, Cognitive Linguistics, Cross-Cultural Analysis
 
 **Areas of Interest:** Cognitive Linguistics, cross-cultural analysis, sociocultural analysis, influence operations, joint doctrine, globally integrated operations, emerging technology for conflict analysis, UX design, mediation, methods and analysis Google Scholar Citations (link) Dr. Sutherlin is a leading expert in socio-cultural analysis--the translation of qualitative research into discrete technology design for decision-making. As a faculty member in the College of Information Cyberspace at the National Defense University, she develops curriculum to advance the leadership for Globally Integrated Operations in the Information Environment and supports the Joint Staff as a subject matter expert.  She is also a visiting scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in the group for national security and artificial intelligence. Her teaching and research focus on information influence, emerging technology, and data analysis. Formerly the Director of Human Geography & Analytics Research at a commercial firm, she led teams in technology development, geospatial analysis, and social science research to support the Joint Staff, Global Combatant Commands, the Department of State, and other USG and partner nations' teams.  She draws from over a decade of field experience focused on multilingual communications, risk evaluation, and cognitive pattern analysis in conflict environments. Her hands-on experience in designing intercultural conflict resolution and strategic communication programs in North Africa garnered UN recognition for innovation. Dr. Sutherlin speaks and publishes frequently on cultural cognitive variation in UX, social science driven ML, crowdsourcing for decision-making, and localized data analysis models supporting national security policy decisions. Her research appears in security training, textbooks on emerging technology for conflict analysis, and UN special reports. Dr. Sutherlin has a degree in political science from Indiana University and a PhD in peace and conflict studies from the University of Bradford. She has worked in eight languages. **Current research:** 2023-24 Principal Investigator on OSD CAPE funded: Evaluating Wargaming across DoD for JS J8 and OSD CAPE 2023-25 Co-PI Investigator on OSD Minerva DECUR funded project: Artificial Intelligence Design across Cultures: Cognitive Linguistics Describes Ethical Implications 2021-2023 Lead Scientist with Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory team on US DOD funded project: Civil Affairs In Irregular Warfare and Governance Support Courses 2019-22 Principal Investigator on US DOD and UK MOD funded project: Concept Lens 2019-22 Co-PI Investigator on OSD Minerva DECUR funded project: Understanding Chinese Influence **Selected publications:** Sutherlin, G.
