Chris Wexler

If so, you’ll want to hear this episode with Chris Wexler, co-founder and CEO of Krunam, the best in class image and video classifier of Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM).

After years in the private sector, first on Wall Street, and then working at some of the world’s best advertising agencies leading the digital/MarTech evolution over the past 20 years, Chris decided enough was enough; work and advocation had to come together.

Krunam was the vessel that brought his professional expertise together with his long history of advocacy in the anti-human trafficking space. Krunam is in the business of removing digital toxic waste from the internet using AI to identify CSAM and other indicative content to improve and speed content moderation. Krunam’s technology is already in use by law enforcement and is now moving into the private sector.

In this episode, we explore the magnitude of this issue, the importance of AI vs human moderators in reducing PTSD, how to protect your children from being groomed online, and how to protect your brand and employees from toxic material infiltrating your organization.

It is a sensitive topic, but it’s also essential that we don’t turn a blind eye. With the use of AI we can get this content off the internet, help bring perpetrators to justice, and protect children from being trafficked in the first place.
