Building AI That Understands Our World Like We Do, with Amit Jain, Co-Founder and CEO of Luma AI

From his early work in physics and mathematical simulation to leading Vision Pro development at Apple, Amit Jain has consistently pushed the boundaries of how computers process and understand our world. Now as the founder and CEO of Luma AI, he's tackling an even bigger challenge: building what he calls a "universal imagination engine." In this episode of Barrchives, Amit shares his perspective on why unified AI models outperform specialized ones, how visual data transforms AI reasoning, and what it takes to build infrastructure capable of training on millions of videos. But underlying these technical insights is a broader vision about technology's role in human progress.
