Interview #101 Dor Skuler, CEO & Co-founder at Intuition Robotics

Dor Skuler, CEO & Co-founder at Intuition Robotics, breaks down why AI labs pour billions into making models smarter and almost nothing into making them understand people. He explains why a companion AI should be rewarded only when a person's well-being improves, why it must never upsell or report what it hears without permission, and why the industry needs an outside auditor for AI ethics, the way VeriSign once vouched for websites. Dor also dives into AI that speaks first, using six levels of intrusiveness so it does not interrupt at the wrong moment, and why safety guardrails need plain if-statements behind the fine-tuned model, since a probabilistic filter will eventually let something slip. Finally, he shares what a home robot will get wrong on its first day, from taking orders from a child to stepping into an argument, and why one broken confidence can end trust for good.
