Chatbots Were the Warm-Up: Why World Models May Underpin Physical AI
ingliguori · x · 2026-09-22
The author argues chatbots were only a warm-up: the next shift is World Models that learn from video, sensors and multimodal data to predict what happens next.
These models are positioned as critical for robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, simulation, and scientific discovery.
The core claim: the next breakthrough may not be a model that gives better answers, but one that can predict reality before acting in it — the foundation of reliable Physical AI.
