Recent AI models are surprisingly humanlike in their ability to generate text, audio, and video when prompted. However, so far these algorithms have largely remained relegated to the digital world, rather than the physical, three-dimensional world we live in. In fact, whenever we attempt to apply these models to the real world even the most sophisticated struggle to perform adequately—just think, for instance, of how challenging it has been to develop safe and reliable self-driving cars. While artificially intelligent, not only do these models simply have no grasp of physics but they also often hallucinate, which leads them to make inexplicable mistakes.
This is the year, however, when AI will
