"When did you first hear about AI?"
This is how Federica Pasini and Gabriele Petronella open every episode of UnBuild AI, the Buildo podcast.
From there, a direct conversation starts with the people who have actually put AI to work in their companies, not just talked about it: Luca Foresti, physicist and serial founder who is bringing autonomous driving to Europe; Marianna Leoni, with a background at Accenture and BCG and today CEO, leading AI transformation in financial services; and Barbara Cominelli, former Vodafone and Microsoft executive who now invests in applied AI.
The same thread runs through every episode: AI isn't something you delegate to a technical department. It needs a strategy led by CEOs and leadership, a clear method to decide where to apply it, and the ability to tell real value from hype.
Three different paths, one underlying question: how does AI really enter a company, beyond the hype.

With: Marianna Leoni, CEO di Iconsulting ed ex Managing Director & Partner di BCG
Il 70% dei CEO è già, di fatto, il Chief AI Officer della propria azienda. Ne parliamo con Marianna Leoni: fasi reali di adozione dell'AI nel settore finanziario, perché i progetti falliscono per governance dei dati e non per la tecnologia, e il dibattito build vs buy nell'era della SaaS Apocalypse.
With: Luca Foresti, fisico, founder seriale e CEO di Niulinx (spin-off del Politecnico di Milano, round da 38M)
Guida autonoma, physical AI e product market fit. Luca Foresti racconta perché i wrapper hanno vita breve, come si costruisce un vantaggio competitivo difendibile sui dati proprietari, e il framework ambiguità/mission-critical per decidere dove applicare davvero l'AI.
