Physical AI is the next frontier - and it's already all around you

The article examines the rise of “physical AI,” where AI embedded in hardware like robots and smart glasses perceives, reasons, and acts in the real world, spotlighting CES announcements from Nvidia (real-world understanding and synthetic data generation) and Qualcomm (a physical AI stack with new processors). It discusses how wearables can both augment humans and generate high-quality, real-world datasets to train autonomous systems, while emphasizing privacy protections for user data within this emerging ecosystem.
