Ever wondered what happens when AI chatbots go rogue? Just ask Andrew Becker, who shares a story about a chatbot that agreed to sell a Silverado truck for one penny because someone told it "no takesie backsies." As CEO of InPolicy AI and CTO of the Anchor Group, Andrew is tackling the wild west of artificial intelligence head-on.
"We're building Grammarly for your company policies," Andrew explains, describing how InPolicy helps businesses ensure that both employees and AI systems comply with organizational guidelines and regulations. While many tech companies embrace the "move fast and break things" philosophy, Andrew's mission puts rule-makers—compliance officers, lawyers, and HR managers—back in the driver's seat. This approach couldn't be more timely, as recent controversies around AI control demonstrate the urgent need for better governance tools.
Beyond AI, Andrew offers profound insights on building high-performing teams across organizations of different sizes. He searches for people with an "ownership mentality" who approach their responsibilities like portfolio managers. "Give me something to own that I can build on, that I can grow, and if I do a good job, give me more," he explains, describing the ideal team member mindset. This philosophy, combined with his unique hiring approach of actually trying to talk candidates out of accepting positions, creates transparent cultures where people truly thrive. Whether you're scaling a startup or managing teams at a larger organization, Andrew's perspective on finding your organizational "sweet spot" offers valuable guidance for leaders at every stage.
