Most AI conversations in the auto industry still focus on tools. The harder question is: how do we build the trust and culture to use them well? On the latest Gravitas Detroit Automotive Leaders Podcast, Jan Griffiths brought Cheryl Thompson and me together to explore that question head-on: ● Why AI should be treated as a co-pilot, not an autopilot ● How leaders can move from “playing with AI” to systematic use cases that reduce friction in real work ● The tension between delegating to agentic AI and collaborating with it ● What generational differences in AI trust signal about training, culture, and psychological safety in the years ahead ● Why standing still on AI is now both prohibitive and existential for the automotive industry Underneath the technology, this is a human shift: learning faster than the pace of change, and using AI to amplify, not replace, expertise. Magnus Lindkvist and I explore this further in "How to Make AI Useful."

As VLMs, VLAs, and embodied AI advance, one truth is clear: web data alone can’t bridge the gap between perception, physics, and action. Robots need purpose-built multimodal datasets—depth, motion, trajectories, tactile interactions—things the internet was never designed to provide. Until robust world models and transferable representations of physics exist, dedicated data collection remains essential. That’s why we built Dxtr—a complete data-development platform for physical AI. Dxtr unifies robot-agnostic pipelines with rich data capture (RGB+depth video, precise trajectories, audio, and soon tactile sensing) to complement Tele-Op and Synthetic data. Human-in-the-loop tools streamline trajectory correction, labeling, and visualization, while our mobile app scales collection seamlessly across setups. The result: training-ready data in days, not weeks—at a fraction of the usual cost. If you’re building the next generation of generalist robots, let Dxtr handle the data so you can focus on the robotics. Huge credit to Atul Dhingra and my cofounder Sufiyan Yusuf for making the platform scalable and production-ready. Here's a quick preview: 👉 https://demo.dxtr.co We’re looking to connect with researchers, startups, and teams pushing embodied AI forward. If data is your bottleneck, let’s talk.

Google has introduced a transformative new AI experiment aimed at redefining how we learn. Their platform, “Learn Your Way,” has the potential to turn traditional textbooks into personalized, adaptive learning experiences – tailored to each individual’s pace, interests, and style. https://lnkd.in/gefMXdKK As AI continues to reshape education, innovations like these bring us closer to a future where learning is more engaging, inclusive, and truly learner-centric. Excited to see how this will empower students, professionals, and lifelong learners across the globe. #AI #EdTech #PersonalizedLearning #Innovation #FutureOfEducation
