Have You Embraced Your Physical AI…? David Sable Read this article on LinkedIn to join the conversation Read on LinkedIn When was the last time you upgraded? I’m not referring to your hotel room… or your seat on a plane… or your phone… or even your OS. You… yourself? CES 2026 made one thing unmistakably clear: The real technology conversation is shifting… from Artificial Intelligence (AI as we currently know it) to Physical AI. NVIDIA and others are defining Physical AI as the moment intelligence leaves the cloud… leaves the chat parlor tricks… and becomes embedded in the real world. It’s no longer just a talking assistant… Not just smarter apps… Not just faster back-end workflows… but intelligence inside the things we touch, use, and depend on like cars, appliances, devices, factories, and infrastructure. As Jensen Huang said at NVIDIA GTC 2023, “The next wave of AI is embodied AI… intelligence that is in the physical world… interacting with people and machines.” And that is the shift… AI no longer lives somewhere abstract. It lives in cars, in refrigerators, in robots, and on factory floors. As WIRED reported in its CES 2024 coverage, “From smart factories to autonomous machines… AI is now powering physical decision making.” Which brings us to the real inflection point: Physical AI drives a stake through the heart of the old Internet-of-Things story. IoT was about connection. Physical AI is about capability. A sensor telling you you’re out of milk is connectivity. A system that understands your habits, your health goals, your preferences, and acts intelligently on your behalf… that’s Physical AI. The connection still matters…It always will. But intelligence in the thing is what makes it transformative.

Learn How Your Listeners Can Get Involved in the 12th Annual Celebration by Donating Toys or Cash at Local Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us Stores

Lieutenant General Pete Osman, USMC (Ret), President and Chief Executive Officer for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation

STATISTICS ON LOCAL TOY DRIVES AVAILABLE BY MARKET
There are currently 15.5 million U.S. children living below the federal poverty line. Moreover, 1 out of every 3 children lives in a family where neither parent has full-time, year-round employment. Given the current economic climate, millions of children risk disappointment on Christmas morning as their parents struggle to provide the basic essentials of food and shelter for their little ones.
Fortunately, parents can turn to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation during this time of the year. Unfortunately, toy donations over the past few years have declined, so we are hoping to reach your listeners who may have the extra resources to purchase toys for less fortunate children in your community.

Since 1947, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve units have conducted Toys for Tots campaigns in communities nationwide to bring the joy of the holidays and a message of hope to America’s most deserving children. Last year, Toys for Tots conducted programs in 760 communities – covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands – delivering 17.8 million toys to nearly 7 million children. These gifts offer children hope, recognition and a positive memory to cherish for a lifetime. Many of the books, games and sports equipment that we provide make a significant contribution to these children’s educational, social and physical development.

President and Chief Executive Officer for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, retired Marine Corps Lt. General Pete Osman, discusses how listeners can deliver joy to a child in need in their community this holiday season. General Osman will provide details about the individual need in specific markets, the status of the local toy drive and where listeners can donate. He will also suggest toys to donate that meet Toys for Tots needs in your community. Additionally, General Osman will discuss the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation’s special partnership with Toys“R”Us.

This year, the partnership with Toys“R”Us is entering its 12th year. As the largest retail partner in the history of Toys for Tots, Toys“R”Us, Inc. has launched award-winning campaigns that have raised nearly $42 million and collected more than 4 million toys for the organization since the partnership began in 2004. The success of the Toys“R”Us campaign exemplifies the commitment of corporate partners helping the organization by collecting toy and monetary contributions to ensure every child receives a toy on Christmas morning.

About the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation: The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a not-for-profit organization authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps to provide fundraising and other necessary support for the annual U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. Now in its 68th year, Toys for Tots provides joy and a message of hope to less fortunate children through the gift of a new toy or book during the Christmas holiday season.
