About this episode

If you're interested in AI leadership, ethical artificial intelligence, parenting in the digital age, startup growth, or the future of AI technology, this episode delivers practical wisdom and bold vision:

Today's interview on AI leadership features Rob LoCascio, Founder and former CEO of LivePerson, who shares why he walked away from leading a global AI company to launch mission-driven startups focused on ethical AI, child safety, taking people's power back and human creativity. After nearly 28 years scaling LivePerson into a public AI powerhouse, Rob is now building the next generation of safe AI technology for families and creators. Through Kidco.AI and You Are AI, he is developing small, human-controlled AI models designed for safe home use and personalised AI assistants that empower, not replace, people.

This conversation explores:

✅ AI leadership and the responsibility of tech founders

✅ The impact of artificial intelligence on children and family values

✅ Safe AI devices for kids and the risks of AI-powered toys

✅ Ethical AI development and protecting creators’ intellectual property

✅ How to build AI tools that enhance creativity instead of replacing humans

✅ Entrepreneurial lessons from the dot-com crash, financial crisis, and COVID-19

✅ Servant leadership and building companies rooted in core values

✅ Startup growth strategy and revenue goals for 2026

Rob also shares candid insights on navigating macroeconomic disruptions, making difficult leadership decisions, and why founders must define and live their company’s purpose.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
