A top executive at NVIDIA Corp, a world leader in artificial intelligence computing and chip making, says AI will soon take on a “human form,” speaking to just how rapidly AI is advancing and will become a greater part of people’s everyday lives.
Masataka Osaki, vice president of worldwide field operations at Nvidia, gave his thoughts during the Global Management Dialogue, a forum organized by Nikkei and Swiss business school IMD, in Tokyo, Japan.
“The machine is to the body what AI is to the brain,” Osaki said.
Speaking on the difficulty of cultivating machines such as actuators, motors and control systems that can run smoothly with AI, Osaki added “Japan can make a big contribution by developing technologies for combining AI with manufacturing.”
Nikkei Asia wrote: ‘The East Asian nation can be a global leader in AI, if its businesses move quickly to connect artificial intelligence and machines to create services, Osaki said. He added that it is also important to integrate Japanese large language models in such efforts. Osaki praised Japan for its efforts to build a domestic base for AI technologies by attracting data center investment to the nation.’
“The importance of taking advantage of domestically generated data and developing domestic AI cannot be emphasized enough,” he said. “It makes no sense to ask somebody outside Japan to create AI out of domestically generated data.”
“It will improve Japan’s own competitiveness to nurture engineers, make investments and develop AI within Japan.”
In the days leading up to the forum, Nvidia declared that the next wave of AI is “physical AI.” “The era of physical AI is here – transforming the world’s heavy industries and robotics. Join the world’s leading companies and get started with NVIDIA Robotics now,” the company says.
Physical AI models can perceive, understand, interact and navigate the physical world with generative AI. This new frontier of AI manifests itself through the embodiment of physical systems that go beyond a traditional AMR, robot arm or humanoid robot and instead, include everything from streetlights to data centers, healthcare facilities and manufacturing plants. With Physical AI, static systems will transform from static systems to dynamic, responsive systems.
Nvidia added
The company added in a blog post, “Today, software writes software. The world’s computing workloads are shifting from general-purpose computing on CPUs to accelerated computing on GPUs, leaving Moore’s law far behind.”
In the near future, everything that moves, or that monitors things that move, will be autonomous robotic systems. These systems will be capable of sensing and responding to their environments.
Everything from surgical rooms to data centers, warehouses to factories, even traffic control systems or entire smart cities will transform from static, manually operated systems to autonomous, interactive systems embodied by physical AI.
Nvidia boasts
In July, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared that the wave of “physical AI” is upon us. “The next wave is physical AI. It requires three computers. One computer to create AI, another to send commands to a robot, and a third computer to handle it all,” he said. “We are entering the age of the AI-powered humanoid robot.”

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
AI is being integrated with everything, and while many might see this as “cool” at first, all it will do is simply accelerate the rat race of society we have already come to loathe, where time continues to rapidly speed up and where we can hardly breathe and take it all in; and at the same time it will also increase even more time for vanity and slothfulness because the AI and robotics are alleviating what remains of basic work and effort;
Thus making life more sterile, bleak and boring, removing the fun and joy in creating something by hand, by expressing one’s creativity and emotion. All that is gone with AI.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

So many things ran through my mind as I read your Author Commentary: Computers and cell phones were so cool when we first started using them; now, they are a weapon formed against us and a tool for the evil players out there to spy on us and control all the information we seek to find. We are being bombarded with so much information that it does seem hard to breathe. The anxiety in the world is written on so many faces. The movie Wall-E comes to mind, where we are becoming lazy people with no creativity because AI is taking over in so many different directions. There is no joy in receiving a letter in the mail, or seeing kids play outside because they are glued to their phones, TVs and video games. I thought your Bible verse was interesting, that God has made man upright, which can mean sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and the verse continues to say they have sought out many inventions. Those inventions have pushed out the Holy Spirit and let other things take His place. Think about how even our churches today have game rooms where kids come to play games instead of truly learning about the Word of God. All the increased knowledge and technology has really just led the world into total confusion. God says he is not the author of confusion, but since we know who rules this world, I would say Satan has done a marvelous job of stealing, killing, and destroying all that God intended for us.
Very true.
Proverbs 20:21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
So many people asked ‘can we?,’ rather than asking, ‘should we?’ It seemed great at first but now we see where it’s gotten us. I’m not totally against the concept of inventing and innovating, but things have gotten WAAAY too far out of hand.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Imagine a possible future scenario where fully capable humanoid robots—faster than you, more durable, can find you using different AI detection and surveillance capabilities; and fully-armed—are deployed against citizens for their oppressive purposes such as arresting non-conformists and forcing experimental vaccinations. This would give a whole new meaning to fighting and eluding in self-defense. They did show these in movies.
Us possibly experiencing this in our lifetime will depend I suppose on how rapidly they can develop these tech abominations, also dependent upon the masses’ contribution to this, via continuing to patronize current related, advanced AI systems and technologies. The point is, stop buying and using these forms of technologies, just because they make life convenient for you.
Weapons of war? They’re programmable, correct?
