Synopsis

In this episode of Unfiltered IT, Chris sits down with Aaron Bailey, General Manager of Devs.AI, for a practical, real-world conversation on what AI actually is, how businesses are using it today, and where it’s headed next. They break down common AI terms (LLMs, RAG, AI agents, MCP) in plain language, helping listeners understand the difference between the underlying models and the applications built on top of them.

The discussion also gets into the topics leaders are wrestling with right now: shadow AI, cost control, security guardrails, and how to build an AI strategy that works across an organization without locking into one vendor. Aaron shares how agentic AI and “vibe coding” are changing workflows and even reducing SaaS spend, while reinforcing the importance of policy, oversight, and “trust but verify” implementation.
