The Vision Behind Airia – Leadership & The Founder Story
What this video covers
Airia CEO Kevin Kiley shares where Airia came from and what he tells AI leaders planning for growth. The idea traces back to Airia’s chairman and his wife, whose wellness facility could not get expensive equipment and other systems to share data, let alone apply AI to it, and it hit home when an early customer admitted to more than 40 AI vendors in production with no way to see them in one place. He also explains how the product grew from orchestration into security and governance.
Key takeaways:
- Plan for AI usage to keep growing: expect a certain amount of usage and budget for 25 percent or more beyond it, and plan at the level of specific tools and deployments.
- The anxiety around AI comes down to governance, meaning the checks and balances that ensure AI is doing things that are safe, secure, and appropriate.
- Airia started as an orchestration offering that let someone without data science or AI engineering experience grab a model, pull in their data, and get working results.
- The team’s background, including time at OneTrust, made security and compliance paramount, which led to dedicated security and governance offerings in the suite.
- It is never too late to get started; design for production and be ready for scale.
