Jordan Harrod's Biography

Jordan Harrod is a research scientist, graduate student, and YouTuber. Her research focuses on neuro-engineering, brain-machine interfaces, and machine learning for medicine. Jordan is currently pursuing graduate studies at Harvard and MIT.

In addition to her research, Jordan is a popular YouTuber with over 82.5 thousand subscribers and over 1.8 million total views as of January 2023. Her YouTube channel centers around topics and current events in artificial intelligence, AI ethics, and medical technology. Jordan started her YouTube channel to educate the public about artificial intelligence because she couldn’t find many educational resources geared toward the average person on how people interact with algorithms.

Jordan’s most-watched video examines how AI proctors work and whether they can detect online exam cheating. She is part of the Inquisitive Fellowship, which is an investment by Vsauce in educational creators on YouTube. In August 2020, Asap SCIENCE mentioned Jordan’s channel in a video discussing diversity in science.

Jordan has also gained attention for her work on creating a deep fake version of popular YouTuber Tom Scott on a budget of only $100. In a collaboration video on Tom Scott’s channel, Jordan succeeded in creating the deep fake and discussed the technology and dangers associated with deep fakes.

Due to YouTube’s strict algorithms, Jordan has started posting her videos to Nebula, a subscription-based video-sharing platform, through her membership in the creator community Standard. Jordan explained to BBC that there are certain topics she has come across that may be challenging to cover on YouTube due to their algorithmic restrictions, such as a video on how algorithms moderate hate speech online.

Jordan Harrod is a respected researcher and popular YouTuber who is passionate about educating the public on the topics of artificial intelligence, AI ethics, and medical technology. Her work has gained recognition from notable figures in the YouTube and science communities.
