In a Qazinform interview, NVIDIA's VP of Physical AI Simulation Rev Lebaredian explains how computer graphics has shifted from creating believable virtual worlds to serving as training grounds for machines.
- Physics simulation is core to physical AI: robots must understand what happens when they grasp objects, move through rooms, or face novel situations.
- Digital twins let engineers test factory changes, train robots, and assess infrastructure performance virtually — cheaper and safer than real-world trial.
- He argues AI's biggest coming transformation is moving into the physical world, and that computing power alone isn't enough to make it practical, in the context of applying these technologies to Kazakhstan's industries.
