The AlphaGo moment is coming for robotics.
Across a growing range of well-defined physical tasks in closed environments, AI-powered robots will not only beat the best humans—it won’t even be a contest: F1 racing, drone racing, many sports, gymnastics, etc.
Physical AI systems will basically “solve” these challenges in real time and then execute with a kind of speed, precision, and consistency that no human can come close to matching.
The question will become: which physical domains will be “conquered” first by AI-powered machines and which domains will remain too messy and complex and full of tricky edge cases for AI to beat out humans—at least in the short-to-medium term?
