🔍 When will AI understand the physical world?
Modern neural networks are capable of recognising images, transcribing speech and reading text. However, as the experts at Filio Force Development point out, these are all different tasks, each solved by different models. The next stage in the development of artificial intelligence involves something fundamentally different: systems that perceive the world as holistically as humans do.
The first signs of a shift, however, are already visible, according to experts at Filio Force IT Company. In particular, Google DeepMind has unveiled the RT-2 model, which transfers knowledge from text and images directly into robot control, bypassing manual programming. OpenAI and the start-up Physical Intelligence are actively ramping up investment in next-generation robotics, where an understanding of physics is becoming not an option but a basic requirement.
A true understanding of the physical world remains an unsolved problem for AI for the time being. But the industry seems to have finally formulated the right question. And that, as a rule, is half the answer.
