Benjamin Baer on Decision Intelligence, AI Guardrails, and Asking Better Questions

AI can generate an answer instantly — but that doesn’t mean it’s answering the right question.In this episode of Inspiring Founders, I sit down with Benjamin Baer of DecideWise in downtown San Jose to talk about “decision intelligence” — the tools and practices companies use to operationalize AI in real business processes (with guardrails, compliance, and consistency).We cover:• What “decision intelligence” is (and why it’s different from traditional analytics)• Why regulated industries can’t afford black-box decisions• How guardrails and business rules shape safe AI outcomes• The “answer is 42” problem: answers without the right questions• Why building a community is the hard part — and how it becomes a flywheelIf you’re a founder, operator, or student trying to understand where AI is actually going inside companies, this conversation will give you a solid mental model.
