For 40+ years, building a robot that could rally with an elite human table tennis player at full speed was an unsolved problem. Sony AI's Ace research project set out to change that—and the results are now accepted for publication in @Nature and featured on the cover.

Five years ago we asked: can an AI agent outrace the world's best #GranTurismo drivers? The answer became a @Nature cover, a game feature and a research frontier that's still open. #GTSophy, five years on ↓ bit.ly/4vHyxpF

Are We Entering the Age of Data Nihilism?

People feel powerless to control their data, which could widen inequality in the AI era warns Alice Xiang.

AI has largely existed in virtual spaces. Ace was built to change that—and today, that research was published in @Nature. Michael Spranger, President of Sony AI, explains what it actually required.

Second: safety. From day one, the team worked with safety professionals through a formal certification process. Researchers started in helmets, pads, and glasses. The system is now operating at competition speed in direct physical interaction with humans—a first.

Why can't you just program a robot to play table tennis? Peter Dürr and @PeterStone_TX explain, and the answer gets to the heart of what makes physical AI hard.

That's why Ace—Sony AI's research, published in @Nature—is built on reinforcement learning. A system that develops its own responses to situations it has never encountered before.
