Trustworthy AI: Why Explainability Will Define the Next Decade of Enterprise Technology

0:0036:55

Most AI companies are racing to build bigger models.

Pat Condo is building something different: AI you can actually trust.

In this episode of Liftoff, Keith sat down with Pat Condo, Founder & CEO of Seekr Technologies — a seven-time founder with three decades at the intersection of search, defence, enterprise software, and national security.

Pat shares why most enterprise AI projects fail — and why it’s rarely the model’s fault.

They explore:

→ Why explainability isn’t optional in mission-critical AI

→ The hallucination problem and why enterprises can’t tolerate it

→ How inference costs are quietly destroying AI ROI→ Why specialization beats hyperscaler ambition

→ What defence tech is teaching commercial AI buyers

→ Why policymakers shouldn’t only take advice from AI monopolies

→ The most underinvested AI opportunity today: manufacturing

Seekr is betting that trust, transparency, and domain-specific expertise will outlast hype cycles and model-size wars.

If you’re building, buying, or investing in AI — this conversation cuts through the noise.
