Physical AI is upon us: implications for safety, robotics, employment factors
Physical AI is no longer a future concept—it is here, embodied in robots and intelligent systems that act in the real world. From autonomous machines to collaborative robots, these technologies are rapidly transforming how we live and work. But with this shift come urgent questions: How do we ensure safety when AI operates in physical spaces? What new capabilities—and risks—do advanced robotics bring? And how will jobs, skills, and industries evolve as machines take on more complex tasks?
This panel brings together experts to unpack the real-world impact of Physical AI and explore how we can shape its development to be safe, human-centered, and economically sustainable.
Date: Monday 06/08/2026
Time: 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM
Moderated By: Dimitrios Spiliopoulos, Worldwide Lead for Smart Machines (IoT and Physical AI) - AWS
Full Stack Sovereignty in the Age of Physical AI
As Physical AI reshapes industries, control over the entire technology stack is becoming a strategic imperative. This panel explores what “full stack sovereignty” means in practice—from hardware and operating systems to middleware, toolchains, and AI models—when building autonomous systems in Europe. How can organisations reduce dependency on external ecosystems while maintaining performance and innovation? Speakers will examine the technical, economic, and policy dimensions of developing integrated, sovereign AI infrastructures that are secure, interoperable, and aligned with European values.

Mission Critical Edge AI: Transparency, XAI & Real-Time Systems
As AI moves into mission-critical edge environments, decisions must be not only fast—but explainable and trustworthy. This panel explores how transparency, Explainable AI (XAI), and real-time system design intersect when AI operates under strict latency, reliability, and safety constraints. From autonomous systems to industrial and healthcare applications, speakers will examine how to build edge intelligence that can be understood, audited, and trusted—without compromising performance when it matters most.
