‘In the age where machines are becoming more intelligent, maybe that’s one of the most human questions left: what are we actually serving?’

In this episode of The AI Lyceum®, Samraj Matharu speaks with Sacha Ghiglione, Executive Director of Davos Tech Summit 2026, about physical AI, humanoid robots, Robot City, work, purpose and the future of intelligent machines in the real world.

From Brazilian jiu-jitsu and decision-making under pressure to robotics beyond the lab, Sacha explores why physical AI must be experienced, not just discussed. The episode asks where humanoids will arrive first, how robots may reshape labour and safety, and what humanity is actually serving as machines become more intelligent.
