Our friends at Limn, a philosophical R&D studio founded by Tobias Rees, are tackling the pre-conceptions limiting contemporary AI. Philosophers, artists, and engineers at LIMN explore ideas that escape traditional conceptual frameworks. Check out their latest thought-provoking content: "When did AI outgrow the machine concept?", "Is AI a machine?", and "AI is a philosophical event". More at limn.ai.
Yesterday at NVIDIA’s GTC, Jensen Huang’s keynote highlighted the evolution from generative to agentic AI, forecasting the next wave: physical AI and robotics. Huang unveiled Isaac GROOT N1, the world's first open humanoid robot foundation model, along with Simulation Frameworks to accelerate robot development. Researchers can now post-train GR00T N1 with tailored data sets. Demonstrating this, Huang showcased a 1X humanoid robot performing autonomous household tasks, enabled by an AI collaboration between NVIDIA and 1X. Don’t miss how Case Miller and our friends at Special Projects are designing innovative experiences for future hardware like 1X. And tune back in to GTC Thursday for sessions on Quantum Computing: Where We Are and Where We’re Headed.
