Karan Shukla

Heya! I’m an engineer who cares about the intersection of tech, governance, and society.

TENSORFLOW 2018-2022

At TensorFlow, I got my start contributing to TensorFlow’s AI Evaluations platform.
I became a founding member and later the engineering lead of Google’s AI Transparency team, working to build tools and best practices for training and evaluation through Model Cards.

META AI 2022-2025

I continued work on AI Transparency at Meta, collaborating with AI Policy on the Digital Services Act and driving the eng effort to launch 22 System Cards (Meta, Verge) across Facebook and Instagram.
With the advent of Generative AI, I built prototypes and awareness of AI Authenticity solutions to fight misinformation. I implemented Meta's first C2PA Ingestion service which was eventually adopted across Facebook and Instagram.
I also built and scaled Meta's AI Workflow Lineage infrastructure. This started as a independent, bottom-up 2-eng project to address AI infrastructure gaps. We successfully graduated into an officially-supported product under Meta's core AI Metadata database, becoming a critical dependency for company-wide AI observability and developer tooling.

I'm a wannabe film snob - I recently finished watching all of Bong Joon Ho's films.
I don’t game much, but I love the classic Nintendo games (Smash, Mario Kart, Pokemon). When I was younger, I tried recreating the original Final Fantasy in Java. The code is very bad.
I recently moved to San Francisco and am looking for food recs!
Other misc things: movies, books, photography.
