In this presentation from SusHi Tech 2026, the CEO of Fujitsu discusses the evolution of artificial intelligence from digital-only applications to “physical AI.”
He explains that while AI has traditionally been used to assist human decision-making through data and simulations, the next frontier is integrating it directly into robots and machines. This allows them to perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and act in the physical world just like humans do.
The CEO highlights that this shift will have a massive impact on industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure by helping to solve labor shortages, preserve the knowledge of skilled workers, and safely take over dangerous tasks. However, he emphasizes that these AI advancements cannot work in isolation; they must be supported by highly robust IT infrastructure and computing power capable of processing massive amounts of sensor data in real time.
