An AI Engineer Is Here, and It Might Redesign the Physical World


Listen Later

The news here is that Paul Eremenko has a new start-up called P-1 AI.

Eremenko is billing P-1 as one of the first stabs at building an AI engineer. The company’s “Archie” AI can help with day-to-day engineering tasks today, and, if all goes according to plan, will be designing buildings, planes and rockets in the future. We, of course, getting into what Archie can do today and what it might do in the years to come in the pod. Spoiler alert: Eremenko thinks we get MUCH better spaceships.

Most of our time, though, was spent discussing Eremenko’s rather incredible life and career.

Born in Ukraine, Eremenko came to the US at 11 and went on to get aeronautics degrees from MIT and Caltech and then – just to show off - a law degree from Georgetown. He’s worked at DARPA and Google and as CTO of both Airbus and United Technologies. He also tried to turn hydrogen into a mainstream fuel source for commercial planes at Universal Hydrogen, although that venture did not pan out.

And so, we got into Eremenko’s life, aerospace and where AI is possibly taking us a species.

Eremenko’s dog Li made a special guest appearance and picked me as his favorite podcast host by the end of the show.

As ever, we thank the wonderful people at E1 Ventures for their support with the podcast

Enjoy!
