At Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, AI expert Jürgen Schmidhuber predicted a dramatic transformation in the accessibility and capabilities of artificial intelligence.&quot;AI will be for everyone, not just big companies,&quot; he told Reuters, forecasting huge advancements in both affordability and performance over the next three decades.While AI has already made significant strides in digital fields like gaming and document processing, Schmidhuber acknowledged its current limitations in the physical world.&quot;No robot can do what a plumber or a nanny does,&quot; he pointed out, stressing that AI still has a long way to go in interacting with the physical environment.Schmidhuber highlighted that most AI research is aimed at improving human life, particularly in healthcare and automation, although military interests also play a role. &quot;You can&#x27;t stop nations from developing AI-powered drones,&quot; he admitted.Looking toward the future, Schmidhuber anticipates a shift toward physical AI.&quot;Once robots can learn by experience and operate tools, we’ll see the foundation for a self-replicating machine civilization,&quot; he said, envisioning a world where AI extends beyond screens and integrates into everyday life.Jürgen Schmidhuber is a leading German computer scientist known for his work in artificial intelligence, particularly in neural networks. Schmidhuber is best known for developing long short-term memory (LSTM), a key technology in natural language processing, and for his contributions to dynamic neural networks, meta-learning, and generative adversarial networks.MWC, hosted at the Gran Via venue of Fira de Barcelona, will run until Thursday. Organizers hope to exceed last year&#x27;s 101,000 visitors, with a strong focus on cutting-edge developments in 5G and AI.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/technology/2025/3/3/ph-needs-to-become-blockchain-level-asset-to-ai-development-group-1523">Philippines needs to become &#x27;blockchain-level&#x27; asset to AI development: advocacy group</a> <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/technology/2025/2/26/shanghai-man-scammed-of-28-000-by-ai-girlfriend-state-media-1741">Shanghai man scammed of $28,000 by AI &#x27;girlfriend&#x27;: state media</a> <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/business/11/07/17/ai-diversifies-job-opportunities-in-the-it-space">AI diversifies job opportunities in the IT space</a></div><div>(Production: Miguel Gutierrez, Michael Gore, Horaci Garcia, Michele Spatari, Alejandra Angulo)</div>
