Physical AI: The Next Frontier in Scalable, Efficient Intelligence

Abstract / Description: 

The era of Physical AI will transform domains from robotics and automotive to healthcare and industrial automation, as machines evolve from executing tasks to reasoning and adapting in real time. Fueled by increasingly capable open-source GenAI models, this shift demands compute platforms that deliver performance, power efficiency, and scalability.

In this session you’ll learn:

• Why Physical AI represents the next wave of opportunity beyond cloud AI
• How compact LLMs are enabling agentic intelligence on real-world platforms
• What it takes to architect efficient, scalable systems to power Physical AI applications
