Will your company stay normal or become exponential? If you want to scale at an unprecedented level, you must have a plan to integrate AI. On The AI Space Podcast, host Sanjay Kalluvilayil, Founder & CEO of Stonehaas Advisors, sits down with Alberto Rodrigues, Director of Sales & Contracts at Knight Aerospace, to explore AI’s role in business transformation, project management, and strategic growth.


With over 20 years of experience managing large-scale technology projects, Alberto shares his insights on how AI is becoming the “new Microsoft Office”—a fundamental tool for professionals across industries. They dive into the biggest AI trends for 2025, the rebound effect of AI, and why businesses must balance innovation with a human touch to succeed in an increasingly automated world.


In this episode, they discuss AI’s role in business scaling and digital transformation, the paradox of automation where AI replaces certain jobs but increases the need for human connection, and how companies can democratize AI to stay ahead. They also cover the integration of AI in project management, automating workflows to improve efficiency, and the importance of ethical AI practices and data privacy to balance speed with responsibility.
