June 11, Wuhan — Chen Shiyi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the Fourth Software Innovation Development Conference that physical AI’s core is understanding, predicting and acting in the real physical world rather than content generation. CAE (computer-aided engineering) supplies physical laws, simulation data, engineering constraints and closed-loop validation, and is the critical base for industrial deployment of physical AI. AI is remaking CAE from an expert tool into interactive, reasoning, executable industrial intelligent agents. Rapid AI+CAE integration could produce a China-native competitive advantage in industrial software and AI platforms.
