0.2-second emergency stop, second-level replanning! Causal intelligence enters the real world

What happened: Aether AI, founded by UCSD assistant professor Biwei Huang, released an official demo of CRIS-0, a causal intelligence system for robots that halts in 0.2 seconds and replans within seconds under sudden disturbances. Key numbers: 0.2-second emergency stop; average 2-second replanning; 9 of 10 random disturbances recovered in Coffee Why it matters: The demo moves causal AI from theory toward physical-world robots, claiming recovery without full restarts and generalization on ambiguous commands. Aether AI says the approach targets error accumulation in end-to-end models.
