What if one day humanoid robots outnumber humans? This idea is far from far-fetched for Elon Musk. On Wednesday, the Tesla boss predicted that one day the ratio of artificial intelligence-powered humanoid robots to humans “could be greater than one to one,” the US news site Business Insider reported Thursday. .
“You could see a domestic use of robots, definitely industrial uses of robots, humanoid robots,” he suggested at Tesla Investor Day 2023 in Austin, Texas. On this occasion, Elon Musk presented a video of the updated prototype of his “Optimus” humanoid robot, which he intends to use in his Tesla factories and then commercialize.
“Millions of units”
Last October, the American billionaire had presented a first version of this robot, which his company Tesla hopes to one day produce by “millions” to “transform civilization” and build a “future of abundance” where poverty will have disappeared. The Tesla boss was then aspiring to a robot that, in the long term, would cost “probably less than $20,000” and would be designed to be replicated in “millions of units.”
“The thing that I think Tesla brings more than the others is that we have real-world AI,” he also said Thursday, Business Insider reports. “You can think of the car as a robot with wheels, and it’s a robot with legs… I don’t think there’s anyone who can compete with Tesla in creating real-world AI,” he said.
