Jensen Huang: physical AI is the next wave, factories to be highly robotic within 10 years

Jensen Huang argues the next wave of AI is "physical AI" — systems that understand friction, inertia, and cause and effect, reasoning abilities even children and pets have natively. Put physical AI into a physical object and you get robotics; he hopes new-generation factories will be highly robotic within 10 years to address global labor shortages.
The poster adds a sharper framing: useful physical AI isn't just bolting a body onto existing models, but building a loop where prediction, action, and physical consequence correct each other. Simulation can mimic patterns from data, but real-world physics contains noise and feedback that video or simulation can't always predict — the key is separating what can be simulated from what must be learned through real interaction.
