In this episode, we chat with Shankar Ponnekanti, the CTO of Trust Lab, a new startup that makes machine-learning-powered content moderation tools for third parties. (Trust CEO Tom Siegel is also one of Germ’s advisors.) We chat about the kinds of work Trust Lab does, why Shankar’s career at Google led him into Trust and Safety work, and the technical and leadership challenges he confronts as CTO.
