Original: Is Physical AI a Rebranded Internet of Things?

The Wall Street Journal is asking whether 'physical AI' — the term increasingly used for intelligent robots, autonomous vehicles and smart machinery — is genuinely new technology or simply a fresh name for the long-established Internet of Things. The question has struck a chord with readers and tech commentators, who are debating how much of the current AI hype describes real new capability versus familiar connected-device systems given new branding.
