Imagine the internet’s 20-year curve compressed into a few years: costs plummet, capabilities skyrocket, and adoption leaps from novelty to necessity. That’s where AI stands today. In this episode, we go deep into the evolution of reasoning models—how chatbots are transforming into agents that plan, code, and act across real workflows. Then, we explore the next frontier: physical AI, humanoid robots designed to operate in human spaces, where the “final mile” of automation requires hands, balance, and judgment.

We break down the full AI stack so you can invest with intent:

• Digital AI: From semiconductors and data centers to secure data infrastructure, code generation, and multimodal systems connecting perception to action.
• Physical AI: Humanoid ecosystems, including integrators, brains, and bodies. We explain why actuators, harmonic drives, tactile sensors, and manufacturing clusters are today’s critical picks-and-shovels plays.
• Investment insights: U.S. leadership in intelligence and commercialization vs. Asia’s manufacturing depth, hype vs. investable opportunities, and a practical portfolio approach balancing concentrated and globally distributed AI exposure.
