Inside the Minds Building the Robots That Will Run the World
Autonomy isn’t on the horizon—it’s here. Driverless cars are logging miles every day in Los Angeles, self-driving trucks are moving freight across the Southwest, robots are retrieving data from oil fields, drone swarms are moving from labs into live deployments, and there’s even a robot serving popcorn at the Tesla diner. These systems are already reshaping how we move, deliver, and defend. But scaling autonomy at this level raises profound challenges—ensuring safety, earning public trust, navigating regulation, and deciding who controls the future of these machines. Join moderator Karl Jacob, entrepreneur and strategic advisor to USC’s Information Sciences Institute, for a high-energy discussion with leaders in autonomy on how to push the frontier while tackling the hard questions that come with building the robots that will run the world.
