Why Physical AI Is the Next Platform Shift
Encord is building the data layer for physical AI, which represents the next platform shift
“it's better to not do any of that and just to scale the the system. Just add more data, more compute into it.”
Eric Landau, co-founder of Encord, frames physical AI as the next major platform shift and positions his company as building the foundational data layer for it. He contextualizes this through the 'bitter lesson' — the AI industry's shift from hand-crafted feature engineering to brute-force scaling of data and compute.
