He's now the Co-Founder and VP of Engineering at Viv Labs.

Their mission is to: Radically simplify the world by providing an intelligent interface for everything.

He's also one of the founders of Sentient Technologies, which was founded in 2007 and has generated over $143 million in funding since its inception.

For example, Change.org was inspired by his "for the world” goal.

We talked about the inception of Siri, and where machine learning is headed next, and debated if it's good or bad for the future.

We also discussed how he creates and approaches seemingly insurmountable challenges and achieves them.

Oh -- and Adam is an author of 60 publications and 26 patents.
