Medium bio

Oswaldo Alejandro Aguilar Castro is a strategic AI architect, specialized in taking generative and agentic artificial intelligence to production in regulated environments. He has designed and operated pioneering cases in Ibero-America: NAT — the first news reporter generated with AI; TVOAI Channel — the first AI-curated FAST channel, distributed on Samsung TV+, LG Channels, Roku and TCL; Lecturas de la Biblia — the first television series 100% produced with AI in Mexico and LATAM; and historical conversational avatars installed in institutional museums. Interviewed by the Reuters Institute at the University of Oxford about the development and operation of NAT. Certified by MIT Professional Education in Applied Agentic Artificial Intelligence for Enterprise Transformation. Author of thirteen published titles across historical fiction, religious-political essay and, since 2026, a book on artificial intelligence.

Target roles

Primary track: Chief AI Officer.

  • Chief AI Officer (CAIO) — primary track.
  • Chief Technology Officer (CTO) · Chief Information & Technology Officer (CITO) — secondary track.
  • Chief Digital Officer · Head of AI · VP of AI — transferable track.
  • Board Advisor · AI Governance Advisor — complementary track.

Value proposition

AI that reaches production and governance at the same time.

The uncommon combination is the key: critical infrastructure that works under real load; governance that withstands audit; and the ability to decide under the uncertainty that today's agentic AI industry demands.

  • +25years in critical infrastructure
  • 8+AI cases in production

Full trajectory

From critical infrastructure to institutional agentic AI.

  1. 2024 — present

    Arquitectura estratégica de IA

    Grupo Fórmula

    • Published El arquitecto de la IA: Creando universos posibles (Spanish, October 2026, Amazon): the decisions, risks and methods for turning AI into real results, drawn from the projects described in this profile.
    • Author and owner of Grupo Fórmula's corporate AI policy, approved directly by the CEO, as the foundation of the group's Responsible AI framework.
    • Launched TVOAI Channel on Samsung TV+ Mexico — the first AI-curated FAST channel in Latin America; active distribution on LG Channels, Samsung TV+, Roku and TCL.
    • Delivered the historical conversational avatars of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera for the Casa Azul and Anahuacalli museums (Banco de México Trust) — the first conversational avatar of a historical figure installed in a Mexican museum, conceived as a derivative work with curatorial rigor, AI-synthesized voices and institutional governance. Casa Azul receives ~25,000 visitors/month.
    • Developed Avatar 2.0, an AI-powered institutional access control system for Grupo Fórmula's facilities, built on NAT's likeness.
    • Led and installed the AI avatar for Banco Santander's customer service center in Querétaro — the first conversational assistant with physical presence deployed in commercial banking in Mexico.
    • Since May 2026 I led the expansion of generative AI operations into Europe, coordinating a production team from Mexico for clients in Spain and Portugal.
    • Directed Lecturas de la Biblia, the first TV series produced entirely with AI in Mexico and Latin America, built on a six-phase AI-native pipeline with an explicit governance principle: automation operates within the phases, never between production and broadcast — no episode airs without human validation. It runs with a single weekly slot.
    • Directed the strategy and architecture of Orfeón TV, a music FAST channel by Grupo Fórmula × Orfeón (in development, 2026), built on the historical Discos Orfeón catalog: 14,280 tracks, 751 hours and 767 artists with 100% owned rights — five times Roku's minimum operating threshold; Roku, Samsung TV+ and LG Channels have already expressed interest in launching it. Designed the single-signal architecture across all three platforms and the project's three-tier generative AI governance model: a per-artist risk matrix, mandatory human review of every piece, and a legal traceability log.
    • Leading the migration of the group's entire streaming distribution from provider OTTera to Amagi, coordinating counterparts in Mexico, the United States, South Korea and China.
    • Diversified the AI unit's client portfolio, adding accounts such as Allied Universal, XEFI Security-Santander, Legal Global Consulting and Data Evolution.
    • Negotiated strategic C-Level partnerships with AWS, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Adobe, Samsung TV+, LG and OTTera.

    • Designed and led the construction of Grupo Fórmula's new corporate Data Center (high availability, disaster recovery, business continuity) — the technological foundation for the group's current AI and digital distribution initiatives.
    • Led the end-to-end launch of Teleformula as the first channel on The Roku Channel Mexico (October 2022), establishing a pioneering position in the Mexican FAST market.

Availability

Mexico · LATAM · United States · EMEA (Iberia) · remote · Spanish and English.

Available to work with North American clients and to participate in boards with hybrid or in-person meetings. Since May 2026 I also led the expansion of generative AI operations into Europe, with a production team in Madrid and clients in Spain and Portugal — available for international relocation across LATAM, NORAM and EMEA with a focus on Iberia.

Intellectual heritage

The voices that teach how to think.

Rulfo (verbal economy), Paul Johnson (moral causality in history), Maimonides (rational synthesis as a higher form of faith), Homer (architecture of collective memory), Herbert (the laws of power in political science fiction), Asimov (rules and containment of autonomous systems), José María Velasco (the landscape of Anáhuac as sacred geography). Not decoration: it is the foundation that makes the decision sustainable.
