This is the same shift happening in software agents, just made physical. The bottleneck stopped being “which model” a while ago. It’s who controls the infrastructure the model runs on — chips, power, now robotics too.

As AI reaches physical systems, trust becomes an infrastructure requirement. The critical layers are scoped authorization, auditable actions, resilient recovery, and clear responsibility when an automated system touches the real world.

Dan Ives on CNBC said the AI Revolution could drive nearly $4T of spending over the next 3-4 years and believes the industry is still only “15-20%” through the broader infrastructure buildout cycle. He also called quantum computing a “derivative play on AI” and highlighted quantum stocks $IBM, $IONQ, $QBTS, and $RGTI as part of the next layer of the AI ecosystem. More importantly, Dan Ives said this next phase increasingly expands beyond just $NVDA into hyperscalers, power infrastructure, datacenters, and eventually quantum itself as the AI arms race between the U.S. and China continues accelerating. He also reiterated that demand for AI infrastructure is still accelerating and does not yet include physical AI or China, reinforcing his bullish view across the broader ecosystem tied to compute, power, and infrastructure.
