Keynote: Managing Risk in the Dynamic World of Online Safety: Sharing Best Practices from Google T&S

- Amanda Storey, Managing Director, Trust & Safety, Google

Platform lifecycles move through early-stage product and revenue focus to cost efficiencies and scale concerns as they grow. A risk management or compliance focus often comes too late and without incorporating ex ante protocols and principles into the design phase, which may in turn prompt significant redesigns and feature overhauls. This keynote will walk through a mental model for how Google thinks about risk management in Trust & Safety from safety by design through incident management.

The Next Generation Device Fingerprint (and Why You Need It)

- Pedro Bennasar, Head of Payments, Vestiaire Collective
- André Ferraz, CEO & Co-Founder, Incognia

Over the past decade, device recognition solutions have played a major role in digital identity verification and fraud prevention. Unfortunately, due to a number of different factors, device fingerprinting technologies (device IDs) are not as effective as they used to be. Without the ability to reliably recognize returning devices, digital businesses are exposed to the numerous fraud attacks that are enabled by fake account creation or multi-accounting and account takeover. In this thought-provoking session, André Ferraz and his marketplace guests will discuss the shortcomings of legacy device fingerprinting solutions and the factors that have contributed to them. They will discuss this impact on marketplace businesses and explore the urgent need for a next-generation solution. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the factors restricting the efficacy of current solutions, what they should look for in a device recognition solution, and the innovations transforming device recognition and minimizing its downstream effects. In this session, attendees will learn: (1) What factors have contributed to the depreciation of existing device fingerprinting solutions; (2) The impact of underperforming device fingerprinting solutions on effective fraud prevention; and (3) Innovative solutions, like Location Fingerprint, and how it may be the key to the next generation of device recognition solutions.

How AI Works and How Humans Can Shape It for Content Moderation

- Michael Dworsky, Co-Founder & CEO, Cove
- Jan Eissfeldt, Director, Global Head of Trust & Safety, Wikimedia Foundation Inc.

With the safety risks of recent astounding advancements in AI, platforms must ready themselves for new threats. We know bad actors will weaponize AI to spread abuse and toxicity, but AI also presents an opportunity for trust & safety teams to use this new technology to their advantage. It can be intimidating for trust & safety teams to figure out how to best leverage AI, particularly when those teams are increasingly strapped for engineering resources. This session will be a crash course on how AI actually works under the hood, how trust & safety teams can best utilize it, and how non-technical teams can guide and adjust it - without code - to solve the right problems. No technical background or knowledge is needed - participants should leave understanding, at a high level, the mechanics of AI and large language models (LLMs), how humans can shape AI models to be more effective without needing to write code, and how trust & safety teams might deploy AI in their own products to prevent abuse.
