Intelligence is leaving the screens. It is entering robots, warehouses, vehicles, and factories.
For the first time, the intelligence we built has a body. And that body works.
This is the decade in which artificial intelligence stops being something you look at and becomes something that touches things — that lifts, welds, drives, sorts, and decides in the physical world, where mistakes have mass.
In When AI Touches Things, Michele Balbi maps the passage from software to matter, and what it demands of the people who have to sign for it. The book does not explain how to build a robot. It teaches you how to ask the right questions before you let one into your company.
Inside:
• Why the mistakes of bodies are not the mistakes of software — and why physics forgives less than computing does
• The Great Exit: how intelligence acquired a body, a mind, and a model of the world
• The dark factory, and what a plant without lights really costs
• The three civilizations of machines — American, Chinese, European — and where Europe actually stands
• Fifteen questions for boards: safety, autonomy, responsibility, data, dependencies, work, community, and sovereignty
• The course for leaders who must decide before the signature, not after the incident
Fifteen questions. One map. A decade that has already started.
When intelligence takes on a body, strategy takes on weight.
Third volume of the MAPS OF POWER series, after Beyond the Pillars of Hercules and The Era of Agents.
