TrustLab is a San Mateo-based trust and safety software company building AI-with-human-in-the-loop tools that detect, evaluate, and enforce against harmful online content - from misinformation and hate speech to identity fraud. Founded in 2020 by former trust and safety leaders from Google, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit, it sells content-safety and AI-oversight products (DetectAI, ModAI, SuperviseAI) to social platforms, marketplaces, and governments, and was selected by the European Commission to independently measure disinformation across major platforms under its Code of Practice.
Tom Siegel is the co-founder and CEO of TrustLab, a San Mateo company building independent technology to detect and measure harmful online content. He spent roughly 15 years at Google, where he founded and scaled the company's first Trust & Safety team into the industry's leading abuse-fighting organization, protecting billions of users. In 2020 he left to build the external referee he felt the internet was missing - a third party that measures disinformation, hate speech, and AI-generated harm without a platform's conflict of interest. TrustLab was chosen by the European Commission to run the first independent measurement of disinformation under its Code of Practice.
