Where AI Works: Conversations at the Intersection of AI and Industry · Judgment is the New Bottleneck · 7 May 2026 podcast

I think unless you have skepticism, you're not going to build a trust because you have to have the judgment to understand if the output is strong or not.

The other thing is understanding when to put the human in the loop.

And that human having the judgment to say whether this output is strong output or there is an error, and then a way to correct that error so you can have a feedback loop to the AI.

So it's continuously learning and improving.

Matthew, thank you so much for hosting me.

It's a pleasure to be here.

So at Expedia Group, I basically run the platform.

So if you see anything that's happening on any of the Expedia properties, it is touching what I work on basically.

I'm also running all of the AI that we are doing from the traveler-facing side.

So we're really focused on how can we make it much easier to book, go on vacations, find the right places, and basically just really make it simple for them to travel.

I started my career at Microsoft.

I was working on speech SDKs before speech was a thing.

I won't date myself with uh timelines here, but it was many, many moons ago.

Um, and I was very fortunate to be at the cutting edge of speech recognition technology at the time.

I went to business school, unfortunately, not Wharton, but another one at a another location.

We all make mistakes.

Make mistakes.

We do.

Um, spent a few years there.

And then went to work for Google after his time.
