At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit in London, aerospace and manufacturing leaders dismantled the silicon-valley narrative of the general-purpose humanoid robot. While venture capital pours billions into bipedal forms, industrial reality proves that form must strictly follow function.
Physical AI cannot scale on 700W data-centre GPUs. At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit, Mythic AI Chairman and CEO Taner Ozcelik demonstrated how in-memory compute and chiplet modularity collapse the Von Neumann memory wall to deliver biological-grade efficiency at the physical edge.
Robotics development has historically been gated behind six-figure hardware and brittle, hand-crafted kinematics. At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit, Hugging Face LeRobot lead Pepijn Kooijmans demonstrated how open-source foundation models and $200 hardware are breaking the industry wide open.
Deploying autonomous physical machines alongside human workforces introduces acute psychological and legal hazards that pure software never encountered. At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit, leaders from Kier Group and the British Standards Institution (BSI) established the governance blueprint for physical AI.
Foundations of Machine Learning, second edition, defines learning as using experience to make accurate predictions, and then builds a whole curriculum around the quantities that decide whether it works: data,...
A collection of results from an internal OpenAI model spans mathematics and theoretical computer science, and its sharpest result is exact: the asymptotic strength of the Cohn-Elkies linear program is now known,...
A detector for alignment failures that answers many typed questions in one call, with calibrated probabilities, ranks failures well and costs 63× less than LLM-judge scorers. But those probabilities don't transfer...
MIT's ad hoc committee on AI doesn't treat generative AI as a tooling problem to be patched with a policy. Its report treats it as a pressure test on what an MIT education is for, and argues that uncertainty can't be...
Cloudflare has relied on 16 partner public CAs for years without ever issuing a publicly trusted certificate itself. It now intends to become one, and the interesting part is the design: classic certificates and...
The first two operating nuclear clocks arrived together, from teams that didn't coordinate, and neither beats the best atomic clock. The independence of the two results is the more important fact, because it suggests...
