AI scholar Soumitra Dutta believes the next phase of artificial intelligence will move beyond language models into “physical intelligence”—systems capable of understanding causality, adapting to uncertainty, and interacting with the real world. From robotics and scientific discovery to autonomous systems and advanced simulations, Dutta argues the United States is uniquely positioned to lead due to its powerful research universities, venture capital ecosystem, and national scientific infrastructure.
