    #289 Eiso Kant: How Reinforcement Learning and Coding Could Unlock Human-Level AI

    How do we get from today’s AI copilots to true human-level intelligence? In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Eiso Kant, Co-Founder of Poolside, to explore why reinforcement learning + software development might be the fastest path to human-level AI. Eiso shares Poolside’s mission to build AI that doesn’t just autocomplete code — but learns like a real developer. You’ll hear how Poolside uses reinforcement learning from code execution (RLCF), why software development is the perfect training ground for intelligence, and how agentic AI systems are about to transform the way we build and ship software.
