Every week, it seems, a new AI demo makes headlines. But as Phillip Swan, co-founder of Iridius, points out—most of these flashy prototypes never make it into production. Why? Because enterprises can’t afford to gamble with compliance, security, and governance.

That’s the problem Iridius was built to solve. In our thinkfuture conversation, Phillip explains how their platform provides a new blueprint for enterprise AI—one that bakes in compliance and scalability from the start. Instead of building “vibe code” that breaks under real-world pressure, Iridius helps companies move from concept to production-ready AI in hours or days, not months.

We covered:

• Why most enterprise AI stays stuck in R&D

• How compliance and governance can be automated without slowing innovation

• The risks of unchecked AI—and the importance of human oversight

• How industries and job markets will change as automation accelerates

• Why responsible AI isn’t a drag on speed, but the key to scaling it

Phillip also shared his perspective on the future: AI will disrupt traditional industries, but it will also create entirely new opportunities—if we approach it with foresight and responsibility.

For enterprises, innovators, and anyone wondering how to deploy AI without the risks, this episode offers both caution and hope.
