Machine MindsEpisode 102 | Active Physical Intelligence Unleashed | Tara Javidi & Sam BigdeliHow do you get AI to seek the right data in the real world instead of drowning in all of it? In this episode, I sit down with Tara Javidi (UCSD professor and AI researcher) and Sam Bigdeli (repeat founder & former semiconductor supply‑chain exec), co-founders of Kav AI, to talk about “active physical intelligence”—hypothesis‑driven, curiosity‑led AI that hunts for the signals that matter in physical systems.We cover:Why passive, data-soaks-everything AI hits a wall in the physical worldHypothesis-driven learning: letting models ask “what should I l...
