.@AppliedInt CEO Qasar Younis says physical AI can't arrive fast enough:
"By putting self-driving and intelligence on machines, we're really making some of the worst jobs on the planet honestly easier."
"In the physical AI world, it's very, very different. The AI can't get there fast enough."
"If you look at farming, the average American farmer is 58 years old. We have record shortages in long-haul trucking. Mining is 1% of the world's workforce, but accounts for 8% of work-related fatalities."
"These are difficult jobs, and people are just choosing they don't wanna be away from family in unsafe circumstances."
"The impact can be very, very quick and very, very significant in areas where there's a lot of demand."
