The Era of Experience Runs on Data You Own
Dell, Thursday, October 15th, 2026
Dell argues physical AI will learn from enterprise operational data, requiring storage built for scale and sovereignty.
Dell says foundation models built on internet text have largely tapped that source, and future gains will come from AI that learns by acting, the Era of Experience described by David Silver and Richard Sutton.
Physical AI systems generate valuable operational experience every shift, but most of that data is lost, and capturing episodic data requires storage designed for scale, multimodal coherence, provenance and training throughput.
Keeping the learning loop sovereign protects IP and supports compliance.
