Inverted Podcast #21: AI Regulations & Humans in the Loop

Episode notes

How Do You Build AI Products That Are Compliant Before It’s Too Late? In this special episode of the Inverted podcast, host Dario Salice sits down with Dexter Awoyemi , an independent AI systems architect working at the intersection of AI, regulation, and product design . Together, they explore what it really means to build AI systems responsibly—before compliance becomes a painful afterthought. Dexter introduces his philosophy of “ clarity before code ”, arguing that teams should start with intent, risk classification, and human oversight rather than jumping straight into models and frameworks. The conversation dives deep into the EU AI Act, including how turning complex regulations into executable knowledge graphs can help product and engineering teams reason about their obligations without reading hundreds of pages of legal text.
