The Facebook insider building content moderation for the AI era

Brett Levenson founded Moonbounce to address content moderation challenges with a 'policy as code' approach, securing $12 million in funding.

Summary

Former Facebook business integrity leader Brett Levenson founded Moonbounce after realizing that content moderation issues stemmed from deeper problems than just technology. Human reviewers struggled with complex policies and quick decision-making, leading to inaccuracies. Moonbounce offers a 'policy as code' solution, using a large language model to evaluate content in real-time and enforce policies, aiming to provide a safety layer for user-generated and AI-generated content. The company currently serves platforms like dating apps, AI companions, and image generators, processing over 40 million daily reviews. Moonbounce's technology focuses on proactive safety measures, including potentially 'steering' conversations away from harmful topics, and Levenson hopes to keep the technology widely accessible, even considering potential acquisition offers.
