How can businesses deploy AI with full transparency, accountability, and trust? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with David Villalón, co-founder of Maisa AI, to explore how their agentic AI technology is transforming enterprise decision-making. With many organizations still hesitant to integrate AI due to concerns over trust, hallucinations, and lack of explainability, Maisa has taken a different approach—ensuring full traceability in AI-driven processes.

David introduces Maisa's Vinci KPU and its "Chain-of-Work" concept, which moves beyond traditional generative AI models to create structured, deterministic decision-making processes. Unlike black-box AI systems that provide probabilistic answers, this approach allows organizations to see exactly how AI reaches its conclusions, making compliance and regulatory approval far more achievable. We discuss why this is a game-changer for industries like finance, oil & gas, and automotive—sectors where AI decisions carry high stakes and require robust governance.

With AI agents becoming increasingly autonomous, businesses must balance efficiency and oversight. David explains how Maisa's model allows for independent AI operation while ensuring humans remain in the loop for critical decision-making. He also shares best practices for mitigating AI-related risks, including financial losses and reputational damage, through governance frameworks and real-time intervention capabilities.

Beyond today's AI applications, we look at the bigger picture—how agentic AI reshapes leadership and organizational structures. As AI takes on more operational tasks, leaders are shifting from hands-on execution to managing networks of AI-powered "digital knowledge workers." What does this mean for the future of work? How will businesses adapt to remain competitive in an AI-driven economy?

Looking ahead, David shares his insights on the biggest opportunities and challenges facing AI adoption over the next five years. With AI evolving rapidly, how can companies future-proof their AI strategies while maintaining trust and control? Tune in to hear how Maisa is pioneering a new era of AI-powered decision-making.
