Welcome to Pivotal Clarity. While the AI field has cycled through booms and busts since the 1950s, today's convergence of compute, data, and market demand marks a distinct break from the past. We cut through typical AI coverage by going deep with the technical builders and researchers who are shipping, not speculating.
This week, InGen Dynamics CEO Arshad Hisham ($150M+ in commitments) breaks down why robotics is hitting its AWS moment. We dissect:
Why previous robotics platforms failed to scale
How Origami's abstraction layer changes robot unit economics
Where the next wave of automation value will accrue
Contrarian thesis: why mass automation creates more jobs than it kills
How Futurenauts is rebuilding the technical talent stack
Required listening for founders working on robotics infrastructure, applied AI, or the future of technical labor markets. -
Welcome to Pivotal Clarity, an AI Podcast. AI isn't new. It's been lurking in labs since the '50s, with bursts of enthusiasm and funding followed by "AI winters." But something's different now. That's why I started Pivotal Clarity. We talk to the people building and researching this stuff - the founders, engineers, and scientists who are a few steps ahead of the hype cycle. Our goal is simple: to cut through the noise and clearly show what's happening in AI. I’m your host, Rajan Maruthavanan.
In this Pivotal Clarity AI Podcast episode, Maya Sherman, an AI policy researcher, advisor, ethicist, at Embassy of Israel, joins host Thiyagarajan M (Rajan) to discuss the intersection of AI, regulation ethics, and climate change. They explore the role of ethics as an enabler of responsible innovation, the role of regulation in tech development, and the future of AI in addressing climate challenges. -

Joining me today is Aravind Krishnaswamy, or Arvi, for everyone, is the Director, Product Management for Cisco’s Contact Center & Customer Experience. We discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by the shift towards AI in product management and startups. We cover topics such as the evolution of technology, optimizing for distribution and proximity to users, the role of probabilistic systems, and the importance of data and geopolitics in the AI space. This conversation provides valuable insights for Indian founders and product managers looking to leverage AI for their startups. -
AI isn't new. It's been around since the 50s, cycling through bursts of excitement and funding, then lulls. But now it feels different.
That's why I started this podcast. I talk to people actually building AI - founders, engineers, scientists. Those doing the work.
The goal is simple: show what's really happening in AI.
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Mfon Akpan, who teaches accounting. We discuss how AI is changing accounting, what this means for jobs, and how to use AI well.
We also get into ethics and making sure AI helps everyone, not just a few. Listen in to learn more. -

In this Pivotal Clarity AI Podcast episode, Peter Voss, Founder and CEO of Aigo.ai, discusses the evolution of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with host Rajan. He highlights AGI's origins, current misconceptions, and the need to focus on real-time learning and adaptability over the narrow AI applications currently at play. Peter critiques reliance on large language models and advocates for a cognitive approach that mimics human learning. He also introduces his company, Aigo, and its dedication to advancing AGI, offering insights into the challenges and future of the field. -
Introducing our brand new podcast! 🚀
AI is changing everything, but most people don't see it yet. The real action isn't in flashy consumer apps or big tech PR. It's in obscure papers and github repos that are quietly redefining what's possible.
I'm starting a podcast to explore this. It is called Pivotal Clarity. Not to hype AI, but to understand it. We'll dig into the technical details that matter and ignore the fluff.
Each episode will dissect one key development in AI. We'll talk to the researchers and founders actually building these systems, not just commentators.
The goal isn't to predict the future, but to spot the trends that will shape it. What are the smartest hackers excited about? What hard problems are suddenly becoming tractable?
If you want to understand how AI will transform business and society, this podcast is for you. No buzzwords or hand-waving - just clear analysis of the ideas that matter.
The first episode drops tomorrow. Subscribe if you're curious.
