Towards Trustworthy Physical AI: From Theory to Practice Across Life Cycle
The paper introduces the concept of Physical AI—systems that understand and act within the physical world, where interactions are continuous, uncertain, and irreversible. It surveys trustworthy principles specific to Physical AI, outlines the role of physics in AI, and maps the end‑to‑end life cycle across five core stages, culminating in the Trustworthy Physical AI Operationalization (T‑PAIO) and the broader Trustworthy Physical AI (T‑PAI) framework.

A Definition and Roadmap for World Models
World models -- internal simulators that learn the structure and dynamics of an environment -- have become one of the most actively debated concepts in AI. From model-based reinforcement learning and video generation to embodied robotics and ultimately, physical AI, researchers across AI subfields are building systems that they call "world models", yet there is no consensus on what a world model fundamentally is, what it should predict, or how it should be built.

Is Agentic AI Just Automation?
The article titled "Is Agentic AI Just Automation?" argues that many so‑called agents are merely flowcharts in disguise. It explains why this misconception exists and suggests what kinds of systems should be built instead to achieve true agentic AI.
