AI Pentad : From World to Embodied Intelligence

Explore AI as a living ecosystem, evolving from World AI to Embodied AI—five layers of emergence and agency.

Layer	Description
Embodied AI	Integrates and idealizes: systemic reasoning, co-adaptation with humans, ethical outputs.
Generative AI	Creative, inspired: synthesis, extrapolation, and innovation within constraints.
Agentic AI	Ritualistic tasks: repetitive workflows, automation, and disciplined execution.
Perception AI	Inputs from the world: senses, sensors, and data ingestion pipelines.
World AI	1st principles: understanding the raw environment, global data, and foundational patterns: LLMs describe reality, World AI simulates it
