Musk to sell humanoid robots to the public by the end of next year
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Elon Musk shared several optimistic predictions about the future of technology during his first-ever appearance at the event. Speaking with Larry Fink, the interim chair of the forum, Musk focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, and space innovation. Despite his past criticism of the forum, his tone during the discussion was calm and hopeful.
Musk said his humanoid robot, Optimus, could be available to the public as early as next year. He described how such robots could help with daily tasks, including caring for children, pets, or elderly family members. He also said the robots would be able to perform more complex work later this year.
In addition, Musk predicted that artificial intelligence could become smarter than any individual human by the end of this year or next, and possibly smarter than all humans combined by 2030 or 2031. He ended by saying that being optimistic, even if proven wrong, is better for the quality of life than being pessimistic and correct.
