Frontier Signals #01: Infrastructure Behind Physical AI — Intelligence Beyond the Screen

Frontier Signals #01: infrastructure Behind Physical AI

Building the Infrastructure for Physical AI

AWS Builder Loft | August 10

Intelligence Beyond the Screen

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond the screen.

The next generation of AI will not simply generate text, images, and code. It will perceive its surroundings, reason about changing environments, simulate outcomes, make decisions, and take action in the physical world.

As AI expands into robotics, autonomous systems, manufacturing, logistics, mobility, industrial automation, and embodied agents, an entirely new infrastructure stack is emerging to support it.

Frontier Signals #01: Physical AI brings together founders, engineers, researchers, investors, and infrastructure leaders building the technologies that will power this next generation of intelligent systems.

The evening will feature rapid keynote talks followed by two technical panel discussions exploring the compute, cloud, data, agent, and developer infrastructure required to move AI from models to machines.

The central question of the evening is:

What infrastructure must exist between an AI model producing an output and an intelligent machine taking a safe, reliable action?

This is not a general introduction to AI. It is a focused technical gathering for people building the systems beneath Physical AI.
