Ep.4 – Edgar Azcorra, Co-Founder & CEO of HumanTrust: Who Can We Trust in the Age of AI?
Edgar Azcorra is an entrepreneur and Co-Founder and CEO of HumanTrust, a company building technology designed to verify the identity of the real human behind digital transactions. Before HumanTrust, Edgar built Xactsize, an AI-powered company focused on solving sizing and fit challenges in online fashion.
His entrepreneurial journey began much earlier, selling chicken door to door in Mexico – an experience that taught him one of the lessons he still considers fundamental today: how to handle rejection and keep moving forward.
In this episode, Edgar shares how those early experiences shaped his approach to entrepreneurship, why he believes the next major challenge for AI is building reliable decision-makers, and how HumanTrust combines identity verification, cybersecurity, and AI to determine whether the person behind a transaction is real.
We also discuss privacy and ethics, why startups need both speed and execution, how young people should approach learning AI, the importance of passion and persistence, and why advances in technologies such as quantum computing could make digital security even more important in the years ahead.
Whether you're interested in AI, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, or the future of digital identity, this conversation explores one of the increasingly important questions of the AI era: how do we know who – or what – we can trust online?
