This is a few weeks old but I heard about it on TWIT today and wanted to make sure I passed it along. The 'next wave' touted in the title is called 'Physical AI', that is, "AI that understands the laws of physics, AI that can work among us." The immediate and obvious application is in robotics, where unless the AI understands physics, the robot won't work. But just having even a large language model that understands the laws of physics (whatever 'understands' means in this context) would make a huge difference. Of course, there's no reason to stop there - eventually the whole CRC Handbook could be hard-coded into AI.
