The opening article maps the convergence between Physical AI and biology: distributed sensing, living muscle, neural interfaces, cyborg organisms and grown cellular systems. It introduces Bionics Physical AI as a working label for this emerging territory.

The question

What happens when the body itself starts borrowing from biology?

The article follows a progression from imitation to integration and argues that biological embodiment and artificial intelligence need to be mapped on separate axes. A highly capable AI can still inhabit a synthetic body, while a living or biohybrid system may use very little conventional AI.
