Breeze Liu
2025 Fellow
Founder and CEO - Alecto AI

Breeze Liu is a globally recognized activist and entrepreneur reshaping the global response to online abuse. She is the founder and CEO of Alecto AI, a groundbreaking company building AI-powered infrastructure to combat online image abuse. Through her nonprofit, the Alecto Foundation, she also leads survivor-centered policy reform and international coalition building.
As a survivor of both CSAM and deepfake abuse, Breeze transformed personal trauma into structural change—spearheading the historic “Take It Down Act”, the first U.S. federal law to criminalize non-consensual intimate imagery and deepfake exploitation. Her leadership has redefined the legal and technological boundaries of digital human rights.
Breeze has been invited by two U.S. Presidents, Congress, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the United Nations to speak on technology-facilitated gender-based violence. She serves as a key advisor to global coalitions on AI regulation and digital safety, and is widely recognized as a pioneering voice demanding accountability from some of the world’s most powerful platforms.
Prior to founding Alecto AI, Breeze led Trust & Safety initiatives in Big Tech and built a successful career in venture capital. A graduate of UC Berkeley in Peace & Conflict Studies, she combines legal foresight, technical innovation, and philosophical depth to build scalable systems of justice.
Breeze’s work has been featured in The New York Times, People Magazine, Wired, and on national television across continents.
