Autonomous AI systems test governance in physical environments
Autonomous AI systems are beginning to move beyond software environments and into warehouses, delivery networks, and public spaces. The development is drawing attention to whether current AI rules cover systems that operate in physical environments. Most existing AI governance frameworks have focused on online harms and model outputs, including bias, misinformation, and harmful content. Embodied […]

Enterprise AI roadblocks and roadmaps, security and physical AI: Day two at TechEx
Day two of TechEx North America has been more of a deeper, critical examination of AI in the enterprise, but with a optimistic bent. The AI and Big Data programme opened with reference to what was termed the “AI graveyard” – that is, AI projects that seem to perform well in pilot, but don’t seem […]

Physical AI raises governance questions for autonomous systems
Governance around Physical AI is becoming harder as autonomous AI systems move into robots, sensors, and industrial equipment. The issue is not only whether AI agents can complete tasks. It is how their actions are tested, monitored, and stopped when they interact with real-world systems. Industrial robotics already provides a large base for that discussion. […]

Ai2: Building physical AI with virtual simulation data
Virtual simulation data is driving the development of physical AI across corporate environments, led by initiatives like Ai2’s MolmoBot. Instructing hardware to interact with the real world has historically relied on highly expensive and manually-collected demonstrations. Technology providers building generalist manipulation agents typically frame extensive real-world training as the basis for these systems. For some […]
