Adam Russell, AI/nthropologist and Director of the AI Division at the USC Information Sciences Institute (ISI), is on a journey to help build a better world with AI. He interviews the ISI humans behind AI to understand what motivates them, how they shape AI today, and where they hope AI will go.

Karl Jacob, co-founder and CEO of LoanSnap, discusses how his experiences at USC and ISI led him to where he is today. He shares the skill he gained outside of the classroom that has helped him through his career as a “serial entrepreneur.” He explains why the amount of power artificial intelligence needs worries him, and why that worry has only increased. He dives into the struggle of conveying how difficult it is to uncover the reasoning behind some AI decision-making. He explores how the history of past innovations proves that industries will survive AI, and describes the important human qualities machines can’t replicate yet. Listen to his episode below.
