AI in the Physical World: An MIT × Harvard Three-Part Series
HCSF, in collaboration with MIT, presents the first event in a three-month evening series exploring how AI is reshaping the physical world; beginning with Entertainment, Music, & Media.
From humanoid performers and robot companions to immersive storytelling and experiential brand activations, this evening explores how embodied AI is transforming entertainment, media, and live experiences. As robots move from labs into public spaces, stages, and consumer environments, entertainment is becoming one of the most powerful proving grounds for physical AI.
Sponsored by Universal AI Services, the program brings together founders, engineers, creatives, researchers, and investors working at the intersection of robotics, AI, and culture.

Venue: Frontier Tower
**Price: ** $20 for Harvard + MIT alumni members $30 for non-members Special (ends Mon, Feb 16): $50 for the 3-part series event
February 17 - Entertainment, Music, and Media
The opening event examines how AI is reshaping entertainment, music, and film across both digital and physical contexts. As AI tools influence creative production, performance, and distribution, and as embodied systems enter studios, stages, and public spaces, this program considers the implications of intelligent technologies for cultural expression and audience experience. Topics include AI-assisted music and film production, immersive and interactive media, humanoid performers, and robotics in live and experiential settings.
March 11 - Physical AI
The second event focuses on the technical foundations of AI systems that perceive, move, and act in the physical world. Discussions address advances in robotics, sensing, foundation models, autonomy, and edge intelligence, with particular attention to real-world perception, safety, and deployment beyond simulation. The program emphasizes both the opportunities and the limitations of current approaches to embodied intelligence.
April 16 - Construction and Real Estate
The final event turns to the built environment, examining how AI is influencing construction and real estate through a combination of robotics and software. Topics include robotic labor, autonomous site inspection, AI-supported planning and simulation, development intelligence, and property analytics. The discussion considers how these technologies are reshaping design, construction workflows, and long-term management of buildings and urban systems.
This event is hosted at the Frontier Tower:
We are transforming a 16-floor tower in San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village—a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
