Physical AI needs context about its surroundings to adapt beyond a fixed set of instructions. Munich-based Spranic is building a spatial memory layer that records physical spaces and how they change. Connecting that information with knowledge graphs could help robots interpret their environments across different tasks, according to Jordi Spranger (pictured), founder and chief executive […] The post Spranic builds spatial memory for physical AI appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Physical AI robots currently struggle to adapt to changing environments without task-specific instructions. A Munich-based company is developing a spatial memory layer that records physical spaces and their changes, which can be connected with knowledge graphs to help robots interpret their surroundings across different tasks. Knowledge graphs enable robots to access relevant information from multiple sources while preserving the origin of that data, making their decisions traceable and auditable. This approach allows robots to operate flexibly across varied scenarios rather than being limited to pre-planned, fixed tasks.

The problem with giving everyone in a company access to AI tools is that people will use them in unexpected ways. And that fact is steadily seeding fears that companies now have new, gaping security holes in their systems or, at least, will soon.

University of Michigan spinout Laplace Intelligence uses AI agents and interactive simulation to stress-test robots and self-driving vehicles before deployment. The profitable startup is competing at TechCrunch Disrupt's Startup Battlefield.

American Express is introducing a new framework designed to ensure AI agents only make purchases their users have authorized, potentially preventing costly mistakes and disputes as AI-powered shopping grows.

Epic Games is shifting to an "AI first" development strategy for its collaboration with the Walt Disney Company, letting AI models write all the code and guide all the artwork for an upcoming shooter. That's according to a Bloomberg report, which cites unnamed people familiar with the project who commented on the significant pivot in internal development at the Unreal Engine maker. Human developers will be tasked with managing and guiding code and art assets generated by models such as Anthropic

As enterprises move from debating artificial intelligence adoption to deploying it, AI governance has become the harder question. Autonomous agents now run around the clock across a sprawl of platforms, and controls built for deterministic software were never designed for them. At Dell Technologies Inc.’s “AI Leadership Symposium,” cost and control were recurring themes in enterprise […] The post AI governance shifts to runtime as always-on agents spread appeared first on

Google is making it easier to build and use personal Android apps created with AI, without having to make them available to everyone on the Play Store.
