When your AI has to make decisions in the real world, the data you don’t have can hurt people. DiffuseDrive CEO Balint Pasztor joins IT Visionaries to unpack the $124B data scarcity problem holding back autonomous systems — and how synthetic data (done right) can compress years of data collection into hours.We dig into: why edge cases matter (and how to safely create them), closing the sim-to-real gap with diffusion models, preventing model drift, and building a data engine for physical AI across defense, robotics, and industrial automation. If you care about self-driving cars, drones, QA on the factory floor—or just shipping AI that survives the messiness of reality—this one’s for you.<h3>Key Moments: </h3><ul><li>00:00 Introduction to Autonomous Driving Challenges</li><li>00:26 Meet Balint Pasztor and Diffuse Drive</li><li>01:14 The Importance of Synthetic Data</li><li>06:39 The Role of Synthetic Data in AI Training</li><li>18:07 Understanding Diffusion Models</li><li>23:28 Challenges in Real-World Data Collection</li><li>26:46 Three Steps to Improve AI Performance</li><li>32:13 Overcoming Non-Obvious Data Challenges</li><li>36:00 Balancing Data Quantity and Quality</li><li>40:28 Future of Autonomous Systems and Physical AI</li></ul>
