AI's Next Frontier
Signals of TEDAI San Francisco and Obvious Ventures present:
AI’s Next Frontier is an intimate salon, part of the new series, Signals of TEDAI, this time to explore the signals on the edge of science, biology, and robotics.
Conversation 1: AI Scientist– exploring the programmable frontier of biology and science.
Conversation 2: Physical AI – decoding the new age of robotics and embodied intelligence.
What do robots and cell programming have in common?
They’re both software — just in different form factors.
AI, algorithms, and automation are no longer confined to screens — they’re embedded in biology, shaping life itself, and steering robots across factory floors.
In AI Scientist conversation, we’ll explore the cutting edge of science and biology — materials, programmable proteins, and bioengineered systems that behave more like apps than organisms.
In Physical AI conversation, we’ll examine robotics as the physical instantiation of intelligence — from autonomous machines to agile manipulators that learn, adapt, and move with intent.
Together, these conversations will explore intelligence that is embodied, embedded, and everywhere.
The connective tissue?
AI — not as a product, but as a substrate for both carbon and silicon-based forms.
Request your invitation today — space is limited.
The event is free, but application is required.
