In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla explore how AI is finally stepping out of the cloud and into the real world.

🚗 Tesla launches its long-awaited robotaxi service, and we discuss why this is a turning point for real-world autonomy.
🤖 Why AI needs robots to truly learn, generalize, and evolve, plus the challenges of grounding intelligence in physical environments.
🧠 Tech giants are offering crazy money to poach AI talent, and we explore what this means for open source and smaller labs.
🧬 AI is now supercharging biology, from protein folding to materials discovery, and it’s only just beginning.
Catch up to stay in the loop on everything shaping the AI landscape!
