My guest today is Avi Tuschman, founder and CEO of Crickit.ai, an AI tool that live fact-checks social media videos. It’s a visionary technology that analyzes and verifies claims made on videos shared on social media platforms in real time.

Crickit.ai aims to help people make smarter, healthier decisions about what they accept as facts on social media. It arrives at a timely moment, as nearly 4 in 10 young adults get news from influencers, and trust in media hits record lows.  

Avi Tuschman is a Stanford StartX entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience building AI companies at the intersection of risk management and predictive analytics. In the first half of his career, he specialized in international political-risk management, working across private-sector intelligence, multilateral banking, applied, and academic settings. His research and book on the science underlying human political orientation have been featured in mainstream and peer-reviewed media in 25 countries.

Tuschman holds a PhD in Anthropological Sciences from Stanford University.
