" My drive comes from a deep concern for the safety and dignity of rural communities in the digital age. Being a Millennium Fellow will equip me with the skills, network, and platform to transform my vision into impact — ensuring that even the most vulnerable can navigate technology with confidence and security. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Insightify- Human Firewall Against AI Scams
Insightify is an AI safety and awareness initiative that protects people from AI-enabled scams (text fraud, deep fakes, voice cloning, image forgery) by combining clear public education with practical detection tools. we've trained a text-scam ML model, completed a full Figma design for a cross-platform mobile app, and started development of the MVP (initial release: text-scam detection + reporting + awareness feed).
To date we have reached 1,000+ people online via targeted social media outreach and made 100+ people aware offline through direct conversations and community outreach I personally led. We also presented Insightify to the Vice Chancellor of Air University and received institutional support to run awareness sessions across affiliated campuses and got Incubation in the Air University Business Incubation center.
Insightify’s first release focuses on easy, human-readable detection and reporting; future releases will integrate AI voice, image, and video/deep face detection. Importantly, our approach treats technology and awareness together — tools help identify threats, but sustained public awareness is the core defence against rapidly evolving AI abuse. We are seeking resources to finalize development and deploy the app broadly (Play Store), after which we will scale university and community training sessions nationwide and beyond.

Born in the village of Jhandomari, District Tando Allahyar, Sindh, Pakistan, Maaz has witnessed firsthand the vulnerability of rural communities to AI-driven scams and frauds. Seeing innocent people fall victim to technology they do not understand ignited his commitment to raising awareness and protecting them. While new to formal social work, Maaz has consistently demonstrated strong leadership in academic projects and team activities, guiding others with vision and empathy. His aspiration is simple yet profound — to ensure that his people, already facing many challenges, are safe from digital exploitation. Through the Millennium Fellowship, he aims to serve humanity by empowering communities with the knowledge and tools to navigate the digital world securely.
