S12 Bonus: The AI Tribunal: Turning the Gawker Playbook into an Automated, Crowd-Sourced Jury for Media Accountability with Aron D’Souza, Founder & CEO of Objection AI
Apr 30, 2026 · Season 12 · 20 min
The AI Tribunal of Truth
Aron D'Souza is originally from Australia, the son of a Chinese mother and an Indian-Portuguese father. He is a graduate of Oxford, and got his PhD from the University of Melbourne. A lawyer by training, he has built 12 companies and has had 5 exits - working with folks like Peter Thiel, the New York Stock Exchange and the Enhanced Games. In general, he's a problem solver, and turns all of his fun into work.
Aron made the stark realization that we are a divided society, and do not have a trusted, unbiased media source. He attempted to build a rudimentary version of a solution for a tribunal of truth 20 years ago, but the tech wasn't ready for it. That is, until the most recent advances in AI.
This is the creation story of Objection AI.
