Elon Musk Predicts Unprecedented Economic Boom with AI and Robots
Elon Musk announced that artificial intelligence and robots will lead to an unprecedented economic upturn, marking the timeline for Tesla Optimus sales. “If everything goes well, we expect to begin selling humanoid robots to the public by the end of next year,” Musk said. “We will create so many robots and artificial intelligence that they will effectively meet human needs,” he added. “I predict that there will be more robots than people.”
AI Surpassing Human Intelligence
Musk has outlined when AI will become smarter than all of humanity combined. The billionaire asserts that robots will transform society and aid humanity by reducing manual labor, stating a future where robots will produce more robots. He added, “everyone on Earth” would want robots to care for elderly parents or children. “Who wouldn’t want a robot, provided it’s very safe, to watch over children or pets?” Musk asked. Musk affirmed that the goal of Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, and Starlink is “to maximize the probability that civilization will have a great future.”
In the realm of artificial intelligence, experts project that by 2026, AI would have made significant strides, not only reaching human equivalence in various cognitive tasks but also exhibiting general intelligence, enabling it to tackle challenges across multiple domains without human intervention. Such developments promise to revolutionize industries, economic structures, and even daily lifestyles.
