Bogdan Knezevic is the CEO and co-founder of Kaleidoscope Bio, and he's seen enough failed AI implementations to know where they almost always break down. In this episode, he walks us through what minimum viable data standardization actually looks like in practice, why consistent naming conventions and structured data entry matter more than people want to admit, and what every biotech CEO should ask their team before writing another AI budget line.

We also get into a guardrails conversation and Bogdan is direct about what happens when autonomous agents operate without proper permissions. He closes with a sharp framework for deciding what to build in-house versus hand off, with some great resource hand-offs.
