The EY organisation (EY) announces the rollout of a new physical AI platform and solutions accelerated by NVIDIA AI infrastructure and software, the opening of EY.ai Lab and a key leadership appointment, underscoring a focus on harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence (AI).

The new physical AI platform, developed with NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, NVIDIA Isaac and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, will provide a structured approach for organisations to implement and manage an AI system executed by robots, drones, smart-edge devices and more.

By integrating Omniverse libraries, EY will support its clients with developing digital twins for modeling, testing and improving physical systems before deploying them into the real world, helping reduce risk and accelerate time-to-value. EY will also integrate NVIDIA Isaac's open models, simulation and learning frameworks to help clients to develop, simulate and validate AI-driven robots in realistic 3D environments. NVIDIA AI Enterprise provides a secure, scalable and high-performance foundation for employing advanced AI workloads.

The platform will focus on three foundational elements:

AI-ready data: Generating synthetic data to simulate the multitude of scenarios for physical AI

Digital Twin creation and Robotics simulation and training with Omniverse libraries: Leveraging NVIDIA's open models, libraries and frameworks to help bridge digital and physical worlds, providing real-time insights, performance monitoring and facilitating operational continuity

Responsible physical AI: Implementing robust guardrails to help uphold safety, ethics, compliance and resilience across operations

EY physical AI solutions will utilise platform components to encompass the entire implementation lifecycle from strategy, safety, design, implementation and maintenance of physical AI applications across key sectors such as industrials, energy, consumer and health.

Raj Sharma, EY Global Managing Partner – Growth & Innovation, says:

"Physical AI is transforming how businesses across sectors operate and help create value, from enhanced automation and greater efficiency to significantly helping reduce operational costs. By combining deep EY industry knowledge with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, this new platform is expected to accelerate how EY helps clients orchestrate these developments responsibly and support them to leap from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment."
