With physical AI, Nvidia envisions the inclusion of AI in robotics, machines, autonomous vehicles, and physical devices. “The modern factory is robotic, with humans and robots working alongside each other. Robots will do the dangerous jobs, and workers will do the skilled jobs,” Briski said. The US is investing about $1.2 trillion to advance high-tech manufacturing and production, driven by electronics. That effort aims to counter a global labor shortage of 50 million workers worldwide, (including 4 million in the US). Physical AI and robotics can fill that gap, Nvidia believes. “We just don’t have enough people…,” Briski said. “Robots and physical AI are our answer. We’re not replacing jobs, we’re filling the ones that don’t have enough people to fill.”
