Insider Brief AI research group Allen Institute for AI, or Ai2, announced it is releasing a new open-source robotics model and large training dataset aimed at improving how robots perform physical tasks in real-world environments. The updated system, called MolmoAct 2, is designed to help robots better understand spatial environments and respond to instructions while […]
The Elon Musk versus OpenAI trial intensified this week with two significant developments: the emergence of threatening pre-trial text messages from Musk, and testimony from a prominent AI safety expert called by Musk’s legal team. According to a court filing submitted by OpenAI’s lawyers, Musk contacted OpenAI president Greg Brockman two days before the trial […]
Governance around Physical AI is becoming harder as autonomous AI systems move into robots, sensors, and industrial equipment. The issue is not only whether AI agents can complete tasks. It is how their actions are tested, monitored, and stopped when they interact with real-world systems. Industrial robotics already provides a large base for that discussion. […]
