How AI Is Transforming the Physical World | Samsara's Vision for the Future of Operations

In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Kiren Sekar, Chief Product Officer at Samsara, to explore how AI, edge computing, and IoT are revolutionizing the world of physical operations - from fleets and factories to farms and field teams.

Samsara has quietly become the digital backbone for thousands of frontline businesses, collecting trillions of data points across vehicles, tools, and teams. Kiren explains how they're building AI-powered systems that don't just collect data, they deliver real-time safety alerts, optimize routes, track fuel efficiency, and even coach drivers automatically.

Whether you work in tech, operations, or AI, this episode shows how AI is finally meeting the real world.
