Why Supply Chain Visibility Is One of the Most Consequential and Underestimated Applications of AI in the EnterpriseGuest: Ilya Levtov, Founder and CEO at Craft.co Host: Seth Earley, CEO at Earley Information Science Published on: June 1, 2026In this episode, Seth Earley speaks with Ilya Levtov, Founder and CEO of Craft.co, a supplier intelligence platform that uses AI and knowledge graphs to give enterprises and government agencies visibility into their full supply networks. They explore why most organizations believe they have adequate supply chain visibility when they do not, why a simple risk score will always mislead, and how cross-correlating data streams surfaces risks that no human - and no generic LLM - would ever find alone. Ilya shares candid and specific insights on building knowledge graphs for mission-critical infrastructure, why only one percent of enterprise knowledge exists inside today's LLMs, and how the give-to-get model is turning supply chain intelligence into a shared strategic asset.Key Takeaways:Most enterprises believe their top-supplier relationships give them adequate visibility - but the middle and long tail of a supply network, which can run to 20,000 or 30,000 suppliers, remains almost entirely opaque.Supply chain is a misnomer - it is a complex, multi-dimensional network where companies are simultaneously suppliers, customers, and competitors to each other.A simple risk score is not meaningful and not actionable; supplier risk is deeply contextual and requires human judgment to weigh cost, probability, and consequence together.Cross-correlating data streams reveals hidden risks that no single source can surface - including correlations between employee morale and cybersecurity vulnerability that have proven highly predictive.Only approximately one percent of enterprise knowledge exists inside today's LLMs - which is exactly why a specialized knowledge graph grounded in proprietary data is essential before applying AI.AI has compressed analyst work on a supplier report from eight hours to under 30 minutes - but the decision of what to do with those findings still requires human judgment and always will.The give-to-get model and supplier passporting allow enterprises to share intelligence across a shared supply network without compromising their own competitive position.Insightful Quotes:"Only 1% of enterprise knowledge approximately exists inside the LLMs today. Companies don't want to give all of their data to the LLMs. Data providers don't want to give it for free either. That's why you need a specialized approach - leverage the power of the models on your own data set and on your knowledge graph." - Ilya Levtov"A financially vulnerable supplier becomes a target for adversarial capital - entities coming in from unfriendly nations looking to survive. You're connecting two different data sets, connecting entities, and getting to a very significant risk insight you need to act on before it becomes a problem for your enterprise." - Ilya Levtov"Organizations compete on their knowledge - knowledge of customers, knowledge of solutions, knowledge of supply chains, knowledge of routes to market. Those are competitive advantages. You do not want those inside an LLM. That is why doing this in a way that is internal and proprietary is so important." - Seth EarleyTune in to discover why supply chain visibility is one of the most important and most underestimated applications of AI in the enterprise today - and what it actually takes to build intelligence at the scale the problem demands.LinksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilya-levtov/ Website: https://www.craft.coThanks to our sponsors:VKTREarley Information ScienceAI Powered Enterprise Book

Why Voice Is Not a Solved Problem - and What Real-Time Audio Intelligence Changes for Enterprise AIGuest: Mike Pappas, CEO at ModulateHost: Seth Earley, CEO at Earley Information ScienceIn this episode, Seth Earley speaks with Mike Pappas, CEO of Modulate, whose work began in gaming - one of the most demanding environments for real-time voice intelligence - and has since expanded to enterprise applications including fraud detection, customer abuse prevention, AI agent guardrails, and sales coaching. They explore why transcription is not the same as understanding, what gets lost when audio is reduced to text, and why voice is the most powerful tool fraudsters have. Mike shares candid and specific insights on deepfake detection, the fine line between safety and surveillance, and what organizations need to put in place before deploying voice AI at scale.Key Takeaways:Transcribing voice and understanding voice are not the same thing - intonation, emotion, cadence, and timbre carry information that transcripts cannot capture.Voice AI demos are typically built for pristine environments; the real challenge is building systems that hold up under noise, jargon, and emotional complexity in production.Real-time intervention changes behavior more effectively than after-the-fact review - feedback delivered in the moment produces measurable reductions in repeat offenses.Voice is the most powerful tool for manipulation because it bypasses rational judgment by triggering emotional responses - and AI is now making voice fraud scalable.AI voice agents cannot introspect - they cannot tell when a call is going wrong, which is why a separate supervisory layer is essential for any enterprise voice deployment.The line between safety systems and surveillance systems is real; collecting and storing only what is necessary for the specific risk being addressed is both a privacy and a trust requirement.Before deploying any voice AI, organizations need to define their KPIs clearly - if the system is driving customer satisfaction down, the deployment is failing regardless of what else it is doing.Insightful Quotes:"When you hear a voice, you hear the intonation, you hear the emotion, you hear pregnant pauses - there is so much information being carried in that audio that gets lost when you pull down to a transcript. And whenever we talk to someone who professionally works in a contact center, they are always saying, we know these transcripts are losing tons of good value." - Mike Pappas"If I am actively harassing you and the platform is able to come in and put a stop to it live in the conversation, that feedback actually systematically changes behavior. Getting an email 30 minutes later saying we noticed you did something wrong - that just infuriates people, it does not lead to change." - Mike Pappas"There is a fine line between safety systems and surveillance systems. How do you design voice AI that improves safety and trust but does not cross that boundary that makes users and employees uncomfortable?" - Seth EarleyTune in to discover why real-time voice intelligence is one of the most consequential and least understood frontiers in enterprise AI - and what organizations need to get right before they deploy.LinksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-pappas-9a30a858/Website: https://www.modulate.ai Thanks to our sponsors:VKTREarley Information ScienceAI Powered Enterprise Book

Why Centralization Is the Wrong Foundation for AI - and What Organizations Need to Build InsteadGuest: Todd Barr, CEO at Axonis.aiHost: Seth Earley, CEO at Earley Information SciencePublished on: May 13, 2026In this episode, Seth Earley speaks with Todd Barr, CEO of Axonis.ai, a company spun out of a government defense integrator that is bringing federated AI and decision intelligence to high-consequence enterprise workflows. They explore why the demo-to-production gap is one of the most costly misconceptions in enterprise AI today, why centralization was built for business intelligence and not for AI, and what it really means to send your AI to your data rather than the other way around. Todd shares a candid and direct perspective on decision artifacts, AI cost exposure, the risks of vendor lock-in, and why enterprises that give away how they make decisions may be giving away the most valuable thing they own.Key Takeaways:The demo-to-production gap is a form of malpractice - polished AI demos built on curated data create executive expectations that production reality cannot meet.Centralized data infrastructure was built for business intelligence, not AI - it is optimized for reporting, not reasoning or prediction.The premise of agentic AI is decentralization - if agents have to wait for data to be synced and centralized before acting, the architecture is working against itself.Data resists centralization for three distinct reasons: technical constraints, regulatory and compliance requirements, and organizational politics.Decision artifacts - cryptographically sealed records of data used, model applied, and reasoning followed - turn AI-assisted decisions into auditable, improvable corporate assets.Enterprises now face a clear choice: pay in tokens, pay in vendor lock-in, or invest in owning their own AI infrastructure through open source models.How an organization makes decisions is its most proprietary asset - giving that context to a third-party AI platform may be the most consequential thing enterprises are doing right now without fully understanding it.Insightful Quotes:"The misconception is really the gap between prototype and reality, and that's where a lot of these things are falling down right now. Getting people excited about something they can't have is almost malpractice." - Todd Barr"Centralization is almost a fallacy in itself. Whenever you are using data you are changing it, enriching it, doing something with it. It is a fractal nature of data that defies the whole concept of centralization." - Seth Earley"If I'm an enterprise, what do I own in this day and age? I own how I make decisions. Which data I use to make those decisions. If we are just going to give that away, that is like giving our brain away." - Todd BarrTune in to discover why the most important AI infrastructure decision an enterprise can make right now is not which model to use - but whether they are building a foundation they actually own.LinksLinkedIn:   / tbarr  Website: https://axonis.aiThanks to our sponsors:VKTREarley Information ScienceAI Powered Enterprise Book

In the first installment of our CEO Series, You Go First sits down with Harold Earley, CEO of FXI, for a conversation that goes far beyond corner‑office leadership. Harold opens up about the internal work that shapes external results — the mindset, discipline, and personal clarity required to lead teams, navigate complexity, and build a culture that actually lives its values. Hosted by Lain Hensley of Odyssey Teams, this episode explores the human side of executive leadership: the habits that keep Harold grounded, the decisions that defined his path, and the lessons he's learned about trust, accountability, and going first when it matters most. It's a rare look inside the thinking of a CEO who believes leadership starts long before the boardroom. If you're interested in culture, team performance, or the inner mechanics of modern leadership, this conversation delivers insight, honesty, and a few moments that might just shift how you show up in your own work.
