Did Jensen Huang Understate Physical Artificial Intelligence?

Jensen Huang says he understated the $100 billion figure. The first six months already produced $10 billion in physical artificial intelligence.

Physical artificial intelligence is artificial intelligence interacting with the physical world. Jensen Huang names photon-counting CT machines, ultrasounds, new imaging radars, and the next generation of 5G, a sensing network that understands radio waves and is going to understand signals of all kinds. He also names robotics, self-driving cars, manufacturing systems, visual inspections, and geospatial satellites that image the world and reconstruct it into 3D. Work runs across the electromagnetic spectrum, from visible bands to invisible ones. He splits physical artificial intelligence into perception, reasoning, and planning and actuation. Planning and actuation covers self-driving cars and robotics: in-warehouse delivery vehicles, pick-and-place robots that learn by themselves, consumer robots people talk about for making a bed, and hospital robots.

Hospital robots, as Jensen Huang describes them, deliver exactly the right prescription to the patient, with robotic care running 24-7, every single second, to keep patients safe.
