Deeper learning

AI is full of promise – but it’s surrounded by noise. In this episode, Veronika Nihlén talks with Petter Ahlén and Christian Gustavsson from AIXIA about what it takes to make AI useful in the real world: from infrastructure and software to self-reliance, efficiency, and the trade-offs among innovation, cost, scale, and control. Tune in for a grounded conversation about how to stay ambitious without losing sight of practical realities.

What is generative physics, and how can it impact engineering and vehicle design? Tune in to hear Veronika Nihlén talk with Wasil Rezk from BeyondMath about a new frontier in AI. They explore how BeyondMath’s physics foundation model lets engineers simulate aerodynamics and thermodynamics in under a minute, and what that means for F1, automotive, and aerospace design. Wasil explains how this radically speeds up experimentation, reshapes engineering workflows, and even challenges how organizations structure their development processes. The conversation also looks ahead to a future in which multi‑physics and agentic AI could help create entirely new kinds of vehicles, potentially even personalized for each driver.

In this episode, Veronika Nihlén sits down with Professor Amy Loutfi, Program Director of WASP – Sweden’s largest research program in AI, autonomous systems, and software. They talk about how Sweden is punching above its weight in AI, the role of regulation and data in innovation, and how closer collaboration between academia and industry is reshaping research. Amy also shares insights from her work in embodied and physical AI, including how robots learn through play, how large language models can help other AI systems learn, and why AI for scientific discovery could transform how we tackle humanity’s toughest problems. Tune in for a generous conversation around robotics labs, synthetic data, cultural views on AI, and what the future might hold for intelligent machines and human intelligence.

On this episode of Deeper learning: simulation steps out of the lab and into day-to-day development. Kevin McNamara (CEO of Parallel Domain), Erik Rosén, and Veronika Nihlén (Zenseact) discuss how sensor-level, data-driven replicas let teams test corner cases safely and move faster – from closed vs open loop to end-to-end driving. The aim: make that bad mile happen on a computer, not on the road. Tune in!
