The "new physical grounding"
Part 3/3: The power of simulation
We've established two key points: first, the development of physically embodied AI is prohibitively expensive and slow, and second, the current market is dominated by abstract AI applications that offer superior ROI.
This brings us to a critical third point that challenges the core assumption of physical grounding: the notion that intelligence must be grounded in the physical world is evolving.
Sophisticated simulation environments are increasingly providing the necessary "grounding" for AI development, offering a more efficient and scalable alternative to real-world interaction.
