50 - Building Secure AI with Anthony Baio

In this episode, Matt sits down with Anthony Baio, VP of AI, Machine Learning, and Data Infrastructure at West Hills, whose career path wound through D1 athletics, the Air National Guard, and hands-on hardware hacking before landing at the forefront of enterprise AI. Anthony breaks down the real security risks organizations face when employees use consumer AI tools with corporate data, and shares how techniques like RAG, model armor, and multi-agent architectures are changing how companies build responsibly. The conversation covers everything from AI governance frameworks like ISO 42001 to the emerging trend of multi-LLM ensemble architectures that Anthony believes most companies are sleeping on. Whether you're an IT leader trying to sell cloud-native AI to skeptical executives or an engineer thinking about what comes next, this episode is packed with grounded, practical insight from someone who has built it all from the ground up.
