To Interact With the Real World, AI Will Gain Physical Intelligence
We made it, techies. We’re at the point where physical intelligence is a regular part of research and product development. Whether shelving products in a warehouse or driving cars, the combination of AI and robotics and the resulting ability to change our physical world will be a common theme in 2025.
🗯️Quotable Bit: “Unlike the models used by standard AI, physical intelligence is rooted in physics; in understanding the fundamental principles of the real world, such as cause-and-effect.”
