05 | Alejandro Reskala - How to Prove You Are Really You

Wednesday, September 30, 2026 • Duration 52:06

What happens to our decisions when we can no longer trust that our data, or the people behind it, are real?

Bob sits down with Alejandro Reskala, a technology executive who has spent his career on one deceptively simple question: how do you know the data in front of you belongs to the person you think it does?

It was meant to be about credit bureaus. It became something bigger. Alejandro traces a line from video games and medical imaging to credit scoring in 15 to 20 countries, then lands on the problem facing every AI system. If a machine cannot verify where data came from, how can it make a decision worth standing behind?

This one gets into identity, fraud, watermarking, and whether trust is what decides how far AI can go. Listen now.
