Chelsea Finn founded Physical Intelligence two years ago to develop general-purpose robot foundation models. She presents research on scalable reinforcement learning, multi-timescale memory, and compositional generalization for robotics. She previously completed a PhD and discusses the tradeoffs between academic research and industry impact.

PI's π0.7 model matches or exceeds fine-tuned specialist models across diverse tasks without task-specific training, demonstrating a GPT-like leap for robotics where a single pre-trained policy works out of the box.
Waymo crossing 250,000 weekly fully autonomous rides demonstrates that ML-based systems can operate reliably in the physical world, providing a proof point for general physical AI.
Waymo's achievement of 250,000 weekly fully autonomous rides demonstrates that machine learning systems can operate trustworthily and autonomously in the physical world, providing a proof of concept for general physical AI deployment.
