2026 Beijing AI Conference: AI Moves from 'Predicting the Next Token' to 'Predicting the Next Physical State'
June 12, 2026, Beijing — The 8th Beijing AI Conference (BAAI Conference) opened at Zhongguancun International Innovation Center. With over 200 top experts gathering, the conference sent a clear signal: AI is undergoing a paradigm shift from the digital world to the physical world.
And for Three-Body Problem fans, this resonates eerily with the Sophon's lockdown of human fundamental science.

Key Announcement: WuJie·Physis-v0.1
BAAI Director Wang Zhongyuan announced WuJie·Physis-v0.1 — the world's first universal world foundation model. Its core capability: predicting the next physical state.
BAAI categorizes existing world model approaches into four types:
1. Language-centric (VLM/VLA) — predicting the next token in text space; learns a language-described world
2. Pixel-centric (Sora, Seedance) — learning from video/images; learns a pixel-described world
3. 3D-structure-centric (3D reconstruction, World Labs) — reconstructing space is not understanding the world
4. Visual-representation-centric (JEPA series) — visual embedding evolution is not physical law evolution
WuJie·Physis aims to transcend all four — it seeks to truly understand physical laws: time, space, causality, and physical common sense.
Also announced: WuJie·Brainu03bc1.0 (world's first unified multimodal neuroscience AI, published in Science), WuJie·OpenComplex2.5 (AI-driven drug discovery), and FlagOS 2.1 (supporting 32 chips from 18 manufacturers).

Three-Body Perspective: Is the Sophon Lockdown Becoming Real?
In The Three-Body Problem, the Sophon locks down human fundamental science — all particle accelerator results become random. Humanity can never breakthrough in theoretical physics.
In the real world, a *reverse lockdown* is unfolding: if AI can predict the next physical state, humanity's path to understanding physics will be redefined by AI.
Liu Cixin, at the 2026 China Sci-Fi Convention, said: 'Human civilization may just be the boot animation before AI takes over Earth.' This metaphor takes new meaning at BAAI's conference: when AI learns to predict the physical world, humans are no longer the universe's only predictors.
Even more striking: BAAI's concept of Three-Body Interaction — the deep convergence of AI, the physical world, and life sciences. This isn't a sci-fi premise from Liu Cixin's trilogy. It's BAAI's official judgment on AI's evolutionary path.

What This Means for Global Three-Body Fans
1. World Model = Dark Forest Detector — If AI can predict physical states, inter-civilizational technology explosion assessment becomes feasible
2. AI as the New Wallfacer — When AI understands physics better than humans, who becomes the real decision-maker in interstellar games?
3. "Boot Animation" Accelerating — If Liu Cixin is right, humanity may be experiencing civilizations final startup screen

What do you think? When AI learns to predict physical reality, how will humanity's place in the universe change?
