Attacks and Defenses in Robust Machine Learning

Maria Johnsen is a multidisciplinary innovator whose body of work bridges artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital systems engineering with narrative design, pedagogy, and cross-cultural strategy. A prolific author with 96 published titles, her contributions span applied AI, human-computer interaction, autonomous systems, digital transformation, and multilingual communication in global markets.

Maria's early immersion in a multilingual and culturally rich environment informed her lifelong commitment to translational technology and human-centered design. Her academic trajectory includes advanced studies in Information Technology, AI and Computer Engineering, Informatics, Film Production, and the Arts. This diverse expertise positions her uniquely at the intersection of computational innovation and creative synthesis.

Her professional and research pursuits demonstrate a consistent focus on educational impact and collaborative intelligence. Notably, she led a cross-border language and cultural initiative between Russia and Norway, an early example of applying structured linguistic modeling in international business education. In China, her instructional work resulted in over 70% of her students obtaining scholarships abroad, reflecting her ability to apply cognitive science principles and mentorship to talent development.

Maria’s contributions extend into computational creativity. In 2017, she began transforming algorithmically structured poetic compositions into lyrical formats, producing works that explore emotional resilience through neural-inspired patterning in sound and narrative. Her album Nordlysets Kamp integrates Folk, Rock, and Metal to reflect complex emotional dynamics, resilience, adaptation, and the interplay of environmental stimuli, rooted in the landscapes of Northern Europe.

As a filmmaker and systems thinker, Maria has written and directed over 85 films and books, distributed across more than 250 countries. Her publications traverse a spectrum of technologically significant themes:

The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Marketing

Neural Networks, Generative AI, and Emerging Computation Models

Blockchain in Digital Marketing: A Trust Framework

Multilingual Digital Marketing: Systems Thinking for Global Reach

Sales and Strategy in the Age of Intelligent Systems

AI Alignment, Nanotechnology, and LLM Safety Protocols

Large Languge Models

Selfaware AI Robots

AI in Governance

Her research publications are not only theoretical but operational, each invites the reader to think critically, apply systems models, and explore the implications of AI across cultural and industrial domains.

As founder of Golden Way Media, Maria channels her research into practical applications. Her firm operates at the convergence of AI-driven marketing, localization, and semantic data engineering, helping global brands navigate complex, multilingual markets with precision and cultural fluency.

Maria Johnsen’s work exemplifies the synthesis of engineering logic, linguistic intelligence, and storytelling. Her vision is rooted in systems collaboration, cultural interoperability, and scalable knowledge transfer. Whether designing intelligent interfaces, mentoring future technologists, or enabling enterprises through AI frameworks, Maria remains a catalyst for meaningful global innovation.

Her journey offers a compelling case study for researchers, technologists, and entrepreneurs alike, those seeking to integrate the technical with the human, and to design systems that are not only intelligent, but profoundly impactful.
