My guest this week is Nabanita De, Software Engineer, Serial Entrepreneur, and Founder & CEO at Privacy License where she's on a mission to transform the AI landscape. In this episode, we discuss Nabanita's transition from Engineering Manager at Remitly to startup founder; what she's learned from her experience at Antler's accelerator program, her first product to market: PrivacyGPT and her work to educate Privacy Champions. 

Topics Covered:

  • Nabanita’s origin story, from conducting AI research at Microsoft as an intern all the way to founding Privacy License
  • How Privacy License supports enterprises entering the global market while protecting privacy as a human right
  • A comparison between Nabanita's experience as a corporate role as Privacy Engineering Manager at Remitly versus her entrepreneurial role as Founder-in-Residence at Antler
  • How PrivacyGPT, a Chrome browser plugin, empowers people to use ChatGPT with added privacy protections and without compromising data privacy standards by redacting sensitive and personal data before sending to ChatGPT
  • NLP techniques that Nabanita leveraged to build out PrivacyGPT, including: 'regular expressions,' 'parts of speech tagging,' & 'name entity recognition'
  • How PrivacyGPT can be used to protect privacy across nearly all languages, even where a user has no Internet connection
  • How to use Product Hunt to gain visibility around a newly-launched product; and whether it's easier to raise a financial round in the AI space right now
  • Nabanita’s advice for software engineers who might found a privacy or AI startup in the near future
  • Why Nabanita created a Privacy Champions Program; and how it provides (non)-privacy folks with recommendations to prioritize privacy within their organizations
  • How to sign up for PrivacyGPT’s paid pilot app, connect with Nabanita to collaborate, or subscribe to "Nabanita's Moonshots Newsletter" on LinkedIn
