Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah A is a Trust & Safety product consultant and former journalist with nine years of experience designing AI-driven systems that protect information integrity across major platforms and institutions. She led Civic Integrity product work at Twitter for global elections and built Dataminr’s Domain Expert R&D division from analyst to director, scaling teams and realtime detection systems used by governments, newsrooms, and the UN. Sarah combines newsroom instincts—reporting on the Arab Spring and elevating marginalized voices—with technical leadership in NLP, computer vision, and large-scale signal integration to surface early warnings like the proprietary COVID-19 indicators her teams developed. Now consulting through Soma Labs, she translates complex safety challenges into operational product and policy solutions, from moderation frameworks to evaluation and red-teaming programs. Based in New York, she bridges public and private sectors to operationalize responsible AI governance while foregrounding human rights and gender-based harm mitigation.
