CJ Adams is a product manager at Jigsaw, a subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet. Jigsaw uses machine learning to detect abusive language, threats, and harassment. The company is studying how computers can learn to understand the nuances and context of abusive language at scale. If successful, machine learning could help publishers and moderators improve comments on their platforms and enhance the exchange of ideas on the internet. Before joining Google, Adams worked with the Polaris Project, where he designed and built new tools for combating organized criminal networks - improving the flow of information between victims, service providers, and law enforcement officers in thousands of human trafficking cases each year.
