Physical AI and the Unpredictable Factory
Picking up a box sounds simple until the packaging changes, the lighting shifts, or something slips. I explore how Physical AI is evolving, NVIDIA’s role in popularizing it, and what manufacturers should look for when deciding whether these machines can handle the unpredictability of a working factory.
What Are We Carrying Into Alignment?
Misalignment slowly accumulates through protected priorities, delayed decisions, and a little territory disguised as ownership. Sometimes moving together begins by identifying what the organization is finally willing to put down.
