He also co-founded Change.org, now the world\u2019s largest petition platform, empowering over 500 million people in nearly 200 countries.<\/p>\n

Currently, Adam serves as Vice President of AI Experience at Airbnb, leading efforts to transform the platform into a generative AI\u2013powered travel concierge. He also advises multiple AI-driven ventures, including Project Voice Capital Partners, Otter.ai, Riva Health, Evolv Technology, Brilliant Labs, and Spatial Labs. Earlier in his career, Adam spent more than a decade at SRI International, where he was Chief Architect of CALO\/PAL, the largest AI project ever funded by the US government.<\/p>\n
