Hi, I’m Tabea, I work in tech. 

For the past years, I've been building Twincler. Twincler developed technology that protected users and the information environment at scale. The technology helped major content platforms to identify irregular and adverse behavior on their platform fully automatically without human analysts and at across modalities and languages (learn more: Understanding Twincler). It has been used by counter-abuse, ad safety, identity, and content safety teams of some of the world's most sophisticated tech companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. It protected more than 2 billion users. In 2023, we decided to discontinue Twincler (blog post). 

Since October 2022, I've been serving on the Stanford University Trust & Safety Teaching Consortium. The Consortium designs and provides an open source syllabus for the next generation of trust & safety professionals. My focus areas are threat vectors related to platform abuse, algorithmic abuse of recommendation and ranking systems, and synthetic engagement.

During my time as the Founder and CEO of Twincler, I served as an advisory board member to the project “Countering Russian and Chinese Propaganda and Influence Operations” at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington DC and helped develop responses. 

Together with 35 representatives from the industry and academia, I had the great honor to be invited by the German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel for the first national expert summit on Artificial Intelligence in 2018. We were asked to provide subject matter expertise for the German government's AI policy.

Upon request, I provided an expert opinion to the German Parliament’s Committee on Artificial Intelligence (Deutscher Bundestag, Enquete-Kommission "Künstliche Intelligenz") about “Technology-driven disinformation”.

While building Twincler, the Boston Consulting Group and the Manager Magazin named me as one of the “Top 100 Female Managers in German Business” and one of seven “women to watch”. 

I’m a member of the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGAI) and an alumna of the American Council on Germany (ACG) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC) Young Leaders Program. 

I like hiking and being outdoors, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. You can also find me on X (@TabWilke) and Mastodon (@tabea@sfba.social). 

I have worked for more than 10 years in the tech industry in product, policy, and data analytics.  

In my Master's and Bachelor's studies, I focused on how technology impacts society and vice versa. In particular: The genesis and perception of online identities, political campaigning, nation branding, asymmetric conflicts as well as online recruiting strategies of terrorist organizations, and racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism (REMVE). I studied computer science, artificial intelligence, political science, economics, media effect studies, European law, LL.M., and cognitive science.

I like to explore and build unconventional approaches to make frontier technology safe and secure for everyone.
