Physical AI has a problem software can't fix: reality. Unlike agentic AI operating in clean digital environments, physical AI has to survive real-world chaos: weather, friction, unpredictable conditions. Our panelists agree — there's no substitute for the field experience of actually building and breaking things in the physical world. The next leap in AI won't come from better algorithms alone. It'll come from people who've experienced the problem firsthand. 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿: William Santana Li has served as Chairman and CEO of Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) since 2013.
