Life 3.0 - https://amzn.to/4nYS9Bx2. The Nvidia Way - https://amzn.to/4nVd74g-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Peter shares his incredible journey—from being born in Germany to leading design teams in Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, and San Francisco , including work in cutting-edge surgical robotics. He gives us the blunt truth about the future of work, the changing role of designers, and the incredible drive he sees in the Indian education system.🤯 The Future is Unstable: AI, Jobs, and EducationThe Hard Truth: Peter states bluntly that many jobs will simply "go away," and most current education systems "will not be here within the next five years, 10." The Destabilization: The technological revolution is accelerating so fast you will see its effects "within a quarter of a lifetime," destabilizing social and employment systems. Smarter than a Teenager: We discuss how AI models are already achieving top marks in exams like the IIT JEE, underscoring the urgency for change. The New Skill: The solution isn't more skills, it's a shift: "The future of design here lies more retooling design towards entrepreneurship." 🌎 Global Design & IIT IndiaDesigning in Different Cultures: Peter breaks down how corporate culture and innovation differ across Asia, Europe, and the US. Medical Device Challenges: Get an insider's look at the complexity of designing for high-stakes environments like surgical robotics and the challenges of working in a highly regulated, risk-averse industry. Cultural Insight from IIT: Peter shares his observation on the "afterburner" effect he sees in India—a generation "hungry" to excel because they see a clear path to a vastly better life. 💡 Chapters:00:00 Intro - Peter Boeckel02:11 Peter's Global Journey06:58 Designing in Diff Cultures - US, Europe, Asia09:10 Evolving Thought Processes in Design Leadership13:02 Challenges in Medical Device Design18:51 The Impact of AI on Design23:44 The Role of Education in Design27:16 New Career Opportunities - Not Just Doctors and Engineers29:33 Teaching Industrial Design at IIT Hyderabad32:48 The Future of Education in an AI World44:02 Preparing for an Unpredictable Future50:46 Cultural Insights from Teaching in India54:07 Recommended Reads for Designers56:24 Rapid Fire Round: Design Preferences and Trends59:09 Outro#ai #futureofwork #designthinking #iithyderabad #peterboeckel #industrialdesign #careertips #aifuture #entrepreneurship #designeducation #india

Previous Video - • Prof Suman Chakraborty (Director IIT Khara... Welcome back to Part 2 of our deep-dive podcast with Professor Suman Chakraborty, the new Director of IIT Kharagpur. In this episode, we continue our discussion on crucial topics including AI, education, and his vision for the institution. If you missed Part 1, we covered his strategic direction and immediate administration priorities , enhancing research facilities , mental health initiatives and his plans to engage mothers on campus , and whether AI is a blessing or a curse.The AI Revolution and the Future of WorkProfessor Chakraborty weighs in on the increasing capabilities of AI models in the software domain and the push toward physical frontiers like humanoid robots and self-driven taxis. He emphasizes that the entire world is being transformed by technology, particularly AI. He argues that students should focus on a "cocktail" of core knowledge and advanced technologies like AI, emphasizing "cyber physical systems". He also notes the importance of semiconductor research as the "next buzz after the quantum boom," stressing India's need to focus on hardware innovation.Rethinking Education and JEE in the AI EraWe tackle the evolving role of the JEE exam, especially after AI models demonstrated the capability to top the exam. Professor Chakraborty argues that the JEE is an elimination exam and suggests a change is needed: reducing the JEE syllabus and focusing on deeper foundations rather than just formula cracking. He asserts that modern teaching methodologies must change, moving away from rote learning and focusing on context and analytical insight.The Future of B.Tech and IIT Kharagpur's PrioritiesProfessor Chakraborty discusses the value of the traditional four-year B.Tech course in the AI era. He supports the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) and its provision for different exit routes , allowing students to leave with a diploma or certificate if they have sufficient knowledge for the working world. He also touches on administrative priorities such as addressing student mental health and introducing a "Dean, campus and community development" position to tackle campus issues like the canine problem.We conclude with a rapid-fire session, where he shares why he believes IIT Kharagpur is the "dreamest institute in the world" and his immediate plans to connect with young alumni.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters:00:00 - Intro and Recap of Previous Conversation02:14 - What streams to choose for AI?09:55 - Double Major 15:14 - Semiconductor Research and Energy Solutions21:28 - Open Challenge - "AC" Issue25:05 - Revisiting the JEE Exam Structure36:17 - The Future of Engineering Education39:42 - Crowdsourced Questions - Teaching Methodology47:10 - CGPA Calculation Change48:37 - Deregistration - Is it needed?51:37 - Canine Problem in KGP54:01 - Rapid Fire01:02:48 - Outro#IITKharagpur #SumanChakraborty #EngineeringEducation #AIandJobs #IITJEE #FutureOfEducation #IndianAcademia #Semiconductors #NEP2020 #AIInEducation #FutureOfWork #SemiconductorResearch #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #ElectricVehicles #NEP2020 #IndianEducation #IITJEEPreparation #StudentMentalHealth #HigherEducationLeadership #CampusLife #CyberPhysicalSystems #InnovationInIndia #ClimateAction #GlobalChallenges #TeachingMethods #AlumniConnect #KGP #IndianResearch

He picked himself up, started preparing seriously, and rebuilt his career step by step.💼 Life After IIT:Today, he’s working at IBM, mentoring juniors, and is about to become a father—a far cry from the dark days of isolation and self-doubt.Durga’s story is a candid account of failure, reflection, and redemption.
