DataFramed

Physical AI is showing up across the industry as sensors, connected devices, and foundation models move from the cloud into the real world. After years of IoT wiring everything to the internet, the big shift is turning raw measurements and video into meaning, not just dashboards. For day-to-day teams, that changes how you monitor equipment, detect failures, and decide what to do next. When thousands of sensor streams hit storage, who turns them into insights and recommendations fast enough to matter? Can one model generalize across different sensors and conditions? And what must run on the asset versus the cloud?
Dr. Ivan Poupyrev is CEO and Founder of Archetype AI, where he is building a multimodal AI foundation model that combines real-time sensor data and natural language to help people and organizations better understand and act on the physical world. The company is developing a developer platform to unlock new applications of Physical AI across industries.
Previously, he was Director of Engineering at Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) division, where he founded and led large cross-functional teams to create Soli, a radar-based sensing platform, and Jacquard, a connected apparel platform powered by smart textiles and embedded ML. These technologies shipped in more than 15 products across 33 countries, including collaborations with Levi’s, YSL, Adidas, and Samsonite, and were integrated into flagship devices such as Pixel 4 and Nest products. His work has been widely published, recognized with major international awards, and featured in global media.
In the episode, Richie and Ivan explore physical AI beyond robotics, turning IoT sensor streams into insights, recommendations, and automation, why physical foundation models differ from LLMs, sensor-fusion wins like wind-turbine failure alerts, edge deployment and privacy, how to pick a first project in practice, and much more.

AI moves fast, and the news cycle can feel like a fire hose. New tools like agents and digital twins promise to help, but they also add more choices and noise. In day-to-day work, the challenge is less about knowing every breakthrough and more about deciding what matters, then making time to act. How do you cut meetings down, say no without friction, and still ship real work? How do you open your mind to new ideas while avoiding hype? And when you do spot a signal, how do you turn it into action across teams, stakeholders, and shifting priorities.

AI leaders talk about innovation, but the wider reality is messy: fast change, uneven guardrails, and threats that span cyber, reputation, and customer harm. Industry-wide, organizations are shifting from one-off compliance to lifecycle governance—from inception to decommissioning—supported by boards, CEOs, and frontline teams. For professionals, that shows up as coordination work: shared metrics, incentives for responsible delivery, embedded ethics partners, and rapid-response groups when a new risk appears. How do you decide who is accountable for model behavior? What signals should trigger escalation? And what sources can you trust to stay informed without getting overwhelmed?

A former C-suite executive at four global companies, including Bertelsmann and PSEG, she has held roles spanning legal, risk, ethics, sustainability, and cybersecurity, and currently serves on multiple boards and advisory boards.
Andrea is a Senior Fellow at The Conference Board, NYU’s Center for Global Affairs, and an AI Ethics Strategy Fellow at the American College for Financial Services.

Data and AI teams are drowning in tools, but the big trend is consolidation and speed. AI-driven building is making dashboards, internal apps, and even data workflows feel more like products than reports. Custom interfaces, interactive presentations, and ad hoc apps are becoming easier to create than traditional BI artifacts.
For working professionals, this raises practical questions: should you build a bespoke reporting site instead of another spreadsheet? Can you connect secure data views and prevent leaks by design? What does quality control look like when an agent writes the code—separate chats, clear plans, and tests? And what’s the real cost of going from idea to deployed app: a few dollars, or hundreds?
