Interpretability Is the Key to Physical AI, Says World Mechanics CEO Sonia Joseph

What happened: Sonia Joseph, co-founder and CEO of startup World Mechanics, said on the AI Deep Dive podcast that world models and mechanistic interpretability are two sides of the same coin, arguing the connection could be key to making AI useful in the physical world.
