AI moves to the physical world: From generating info to machine action
ingliguori · x · 2026-08-21
The post argues that the next AI frontier is Physical AI and world models. These systems use video, sensors, and simulation to understand reality, predict outcomes, and train robots in virtual worlds (e.g., NVIDIA's Cosmos and GR00T). This shifts focus from generating text to taking physical actions in industries like manufacturing and logistics, where reliability and safety are critical.
