Ethical/Explainable AI Founder in Residence Palo Alto, CA
Our mission is to enable trustworthy and robust AI development and deployment. We will audit and monitor AI systems in order to instill confidence around AI in the public sector, the private sector, and the general public. As a result, we provide an independent, third-party stamp of approval certifying an AI system with respect to a specific use case, either involving efficacy or bias. In doing so, we are creating the standard for certain use cases as well as the broader playbook for AI regulation. This stamp of approval enables adoption and improvement of AI systems without fear of penalties from regulators or negative press. If companies have taken the right steps with us and placed the right governance infrastructure in place, they can scale their AI technology with confidence.
What You Will Be Doing

Prioritize: Identify your most important tasks for moving the fund forward, and focus on them. Make sure you can stack rank according to priority, communicate out your priorities, and say “no” or “not now” appropriately to low priority items.
Execute fast: Move quickly. Set ambitious but realistic deadlines, communicate them out, and stick to it. Don’t take two days to do what can be done in one day, nor two months to do what can be done in one. Startups live or die by their ability to execute, pivot, and grow faster than anyone else.
Work hard: Startups are a lot of work to build. A core advantage startups have over established companies is that they are willing to work much harder, and so can do much more. Lean in and do the work needed to give them the best chance of success.
Own the outcome: Raise all fund-related issues directly. Propose solutions to any issue, including higher-level problems that are “outside your job scope.” We’re a small team and you are empowered to try to make anything better.
