“Real Intelligence” (RI) the juxtaposition between AI, including new developments in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), “Agentic AI” and physical reality in the new dawn of Practical Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing. Opportunities for Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP), transputers and Concurrent Systems Design for Guardrails, Safety, Cyberdefense, Performance, Reliability in Emerging Technologies and Embedded Systems. Presents a review of practical AI systems, implications and their applications in use, outcomes and opportunities with future context and potential ways to survive rouge, flawed or compromised computing systems including but not limited to using a CSP perspective especially in critical applications…..A discussion.
