Pramod and I talk about artificial intelligence
A new era is emerging where engineering drives AI—and AI transforms engineeringThis week Matt Kirchner is joined by Dr. Pramod Khargonekar—Vice Chancellor for Research at UC Irvine and lead author of the ERVA report AI Engineering: A Strategic Research Framework to Benefit Society. Dr. Khargonekar unpacks the emerging discipline of AI Engineering, where engineering principles make AI better, and AI makes engineered systems better.From robotics and energy systems to engineering education and data sharing, this episode dives into the flywheel effect of AI and engineering co-evolving. Pramod explains the real-world impact, the challenges ahead, and why this moment represents a generational opportunity for U.S. leadership in both innovation and education.Listen to learn:How AI is changing every branch of engineering—from mechanical to civil to industrial and beyond.Why manufacturing, energy, and transportation are ground zero for “physical AI”What the 14 Grand Challenges of AI Engineering reveal about the future of innovationWhy systems thinking is the key to building AI products that actually workHow colleges must rethink engineering education—and what industry can do to help3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. AI is transforming every branch of engineering—from design and simulation to manufacturing and operations. Pramod explains how fields like robotics, fluid mechanics, and materials science are being reshaped by tools such as reinforcement learning and foundation models. This shift isn't just about efficiency—it's enabling engineers to solve problems they couldn't approach before.2. Engineering will play a critical role in advancing the next generation of AI. Pramod highlights how engineering disciplines contribute essential elements like safety, reliability, power systems, and chip design to AI development. These contributions are vital to scaling AI into real-world, physical systems—what he calls “physical AI.”3. To lead in AI Engineering, higher education must integrate AI into every engineering discipline. Dr. Khargonekar outlines how universities can start with shared foundational courses, then build field-specific AI applications into majors like mechanical or electrical engineering. He also emphasizes the importance of short courses, professional development, and industry partnerships to support lifelong learning.Resources in this Episode:Read the ERVA report: AI Engineering | A Strategic Research Framework to Benefit SocietyLearn more about the work of the NSF Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA)Connect with ERVA on Social Media:X | LinkedIn | FacebookWe want to hear from you!

Abhay chats with Pramod Varma, the visionary technologist who helped architect India's digital transformation, enabling over a billion people to access digital identity, banking, payments, and verifiable credentials, fundamentally reshaping India's social and economic landscape. (0:00 - 3:41) Introduction(3:41) Part 1 - Describing what he does, transforming India into the transaction economy(20:34) Part 2 - Verbs not nouns, connecting tech to everyone, lessons in equity, personal learning(42:28) Part 3 - leading for magnitude and scale, art and aesthetics, prioritizing equity(1:00:59) ConclusionPramod is currently the Co-Founder and Chief Architect of FIDE.org leading global efforts such as BECKN Protocol and FINTERNET.He has been the chief architect of most of India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) efforts starting with Aadhaar - India's unique ID system that covers 1.4 Billion people; eSign - an interoperable digital signature protocol; DigiLocker - digital credentialing and wallet system having over 9 billion verifiable credentials and over 400 million users; and UPI - the unified instant payment system that was launched in 2016 currently doing over 18 Billion transactions a month.He also played a key role in designing and architecting India's indirect tax (GST) system, national toll collection system, digital health infrastructure, digital agri infrastructure, and digital education infrastructure.Intro:The world needs more heroes, so let me thank you first for your heroism in an effort to engage here and choose TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING as a part of your day and even a small part of your life. I appreciate you watching and subscribing on YouTube, listening on all of the podcast platforms, rating and writing reviews, following on those good old social media places, and sharing this with all your friends and family. Now if I really think about heroic feats in this digital age we live in, I can't think of a better person who effectively embodies it than Pramod Varma. Pramod is a computer scientist and for over the past decade and a half, he has been the driving designer of tech inclusion, equity, and connectivity to India's entire population. He is the chief architect behind many of India's digital public infrastructure initiatives like Aadhar - the digital identity system covering 1.4 billion people that enabled banking access from almost nothing to above 80% in just a decade, and similarly e-sign, account aggregator for open finance, and of course the UPI or Unified Payments Interface that is now processing over 18 billion transactions in India every month. Staggering is a word that comes to my mind, but still doesn't do justice to the scale and scope of work that Pramod has designed and is continuing to lead. He grew up in a small town in Kerala, earned his PhD in computer science and a masters in applied mathematics. Pramod is highly driven by curiosity and equipped with an insatiable thirst for broadly understanding humanity through art and knowledge. After journeying successfully through the early days of the internet in a variety of entrepreneurial and tech leadership roles, Pramod made a deep pivot in 2009 to volunteer on a national digital identity project, and the rest is as they say history. And for those keeping score at home, Pramod's initial success in harnessing a team to do this at scale and at the cost of about 70 rupees per person, was all open sourced and unbundled, so that you could build iterative and supplemental layers on this important foundation for years to come. He is currently the co-founder and chief architect of “Networks for Humanity” creating universal technology infrastructure for the AI driven digital economy and for the tokenization and exchange of all forms of assets across geographies and sectors. A few of the visions that he has co-created are the Finternet, an initiative to build infrastructure that empowers individuals and businesses to unify, verify, and transact their assets seamlessly, enabling billions of people to actively participate in the global digital economy, and also the Beckn Protocol, a vision for peer-to-peer, agentic native, open networks that enable exchange across the global value chains. As you can guess, while most are playing checkers, I feel like Pramod is playing 4-dimensional chess… while keeping a grounded lens on disciplined equity, education, and inclusion. We caught up to chat about it all, but with so many descriptors of his work and accomplishments, especially for people who are getting to know him, I wanted to first simply hear how Pramod tends to describe himself.Cheers to INDIASPORA for the spark!

Send us a Text Message.Mistreatment of migrant workers, especially those forced to work in hot, dangerous conditions, created huge headlines in the run-up to the Qatar World Cup in 2022, thanks in part to the work of today's guest—journalist Pramod Acharya. Pramod's subsequent reporting also made the news globally. Also done in collaboration with journalists around the world, it spotlighted the conditions faced by Nepalis and others working in Amazon warehouses in Saudi Arabia, and led to Amazon changing some of its work practices. For that reporting, Pramod and his colleagues have received numerous nominations and awards, including—for the Amazon work—the Excellence in International Reporting award from the Asian American Journalists Association and the Human Rights Press Award, from Human Rights Watch and others. Today he'll tell us how and where he got his start in journalism, how migration from Nepal has changed in the decade since he started investigating it, and the role that the media might play in making positive change.
