In this fifth episode, Integrity Institute members Talha Baig and Lizzy Donahue talk Integrity in the metaverse. The conversation ranges from defining what the metaverse is to discussing whether it should even exist! We also discuss other fun topics, such as: integrity issues with augmented reality and dating in the metaverse.

Lizzy is an experienced integrity professional who worked at Meta for 7 years where she pioneered machine learning to proactively detect suicidal intent, worked on Integrity at Oculus Rift home, and kept us safe on Horizon worlds. On top of that Lizzy was a “Global Social Benefit” fellow at SCU, where she won the top prize at her senior design conference for building a tool to aid Social Enterprises with training employees and customers. She is now working as a Trust and Safety engineer at Clubhouse.

Talha steps in for Alice Hunsberger as host. Talha worked at Meta for the past 3 years as an ML engineer on Marketplace Integrity and is currently acting as producer for this podcast.
