Robots Rehearse Their Bad Days
· New York time
University of Michigan spinout Laplace Intelligence uses AI agents and interactive simulation to stress-test robots and self-driving vehicles before deployment.

Simulation offers a place to examine difficult situations without treating public space as the first rehearsal. Its usefulness depends on how well testing exposes meaningful weaknesses. This is a refreshingly practical AI ambition: invent trouble early so fewer surprises arrive later. A robot's most valuable virtual experience may be learning that the world declines to follow its demonstration script.
